You just can’t resist even though not one person here respects your opinion. Go away.

You should probably concentrate more on trying to figure out your cable bill.

Chip Roy likely signed his death warrant for re-election when he indorsed DeSanatary for president. As for the much-discussed cliff; we jumped off that years ago. Biden just tied anvils to our legs so to speak. Delaying the death of our monetary system won't do any good. It's already been destroyed. Might as well get it over with because they don't have the fortitude to fight to revive it.

Looks like there will be no debt ceiling for the next several months. Then they're supposed to reimpose it at some negotiated level. Which means it will never be put in place again.


Seems like a cave of Carlsbad proportions.

Fact check: Mostly correct. There's still a few republicans that care about the country's future. The Rinos and the commies are united in the destruction of the country for a quick buck.

You got THAT right...and I agree with you re: being a senior citizen..

Kinda like your kghunt, Phil. Now GFY

Yep, that's why the trump clan was allowed to raise the debt so much and was quickly allowed to raise the debt ceiling 3 times... Sure, funny how that works!


Phil

Phil, must be nice to always know you are right. Again, try the Huffington Post, they will agree with you.

It has a lot to do with balancing the budget. If you can't balance the budget, you need to stop raising the debt ceiling first. The long goal is a balanced budget . Likely wont happen however.

Nope.

I like the Work Rule for Food Stamps was raised to 54 years
Old ..

Oh and the 4 Trillion Spending Ceiling over Two Years ..

Two Years that’s Nice ..

It should be obvious why they need 8k New IRS Agents..

Kevin is a Totalitarian…

They all Know what must be Done to stave off a Depression.

If all people living in this country had to pay every year for the money spent by their elected officials it only take one election cycle to completely change how they vote. Right now its easy to vote for all this spending because the voter doesn't feel the pain in their wallet.
Their government just puts it on their credit card. When thats maxed out they just increase the limit. If everyone had skin in the game it would be a whole different ball game.

qbama era added $9 trillion to national debt.

Nailed it...

as mentioned, all this was just theater to fool the masses. There were no 'negotiations'

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. Growing up I was told, you can't get blood out of a turnip.

As of Sunday morning, McKevin says it’s still not in written form. Most everything so far is speculation.

Here are some details mixed with some propaganda.

McCarthy’s debt-ceiling deal with Biden comes up short on his vow to rein in IRS

Kevin McCarthy trumpeted a debt-ceiling deal Sunday, but increasing debt another $4 trillion with minimal concessions is nothing to boast about.

To be fair, the House speaker has a razor slim majority and Republicans don’t control the Senate, where Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his sidekick Lindsey Graham have announced that the only thing they care about is Ukraine.

But McCarthy’s one dealbreaker should have been his promise to defund President Biden’s massive $80 billion to turbocharge an already weaponized IRS.

This was the totemic centerpiece of his pitch to become speaker.

It was the most memorable promise of the Republicans’ midterm campaign to win back the House.

It struck a chord with voters, wary of funding a new “army” of armed IRS agents to harass middle-class families and small business owners and abuse their powers to target political dissidents, Soviet-style.

“Our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents,” McCarthy vowed.

“You see, we believe government should be to help you, not go after you.”

Sure enough, the House voted 221-210 to repeal the extra IRS funding.

In the debt-ceiling deal outlined Sunday and due to be inked later this week, McCarthy has allowed the lion’s share of that extra IRS funding to remain unmolested: preserving $78.1 billion of the $80 billion.

As rebel GOP Rep Dan Bishop put it: “So there will be 85,260 more IRS agents rather than 87,000 to eat you alive. Big win.”

You don’t mount a powerful six-month fear campaign about 87,000 new, armed IRS agents ready to break down people’s doors, and then meekly capitulate at the first sign of resistance.

Even if those fears were exaggerated, your credibility rests on delivering a lot more than 2% of what you promised.

In any case the fears about a weaponized IRS targeting Biden’s opponents are very real.
