House Republicans are moving forward with plans to raise the nation’s debt ceiling by $4 trillion as part of a larger plan to advance President Trump’s tax agenda.
Don’t they cry every time Dems are in office and try to raise the debt ceiling, which is in itself an unnecessary procedure.
Yeah, but the astroturfing botfarms are only activated to foment “oohh aahh yeah gotta be responsible with our children’s debt” opinions when it’s the other way around. And of course all big “news” entertainment papers and shows are in on it because of access and money. I mean, they’re all doing what they’re paid for and the general public can’t be arsed to be smart about it, call bullshit and cut off the value extraction because of perceived inconveniences (data harvesting = ability to manipulate/steer public opinion = value to sell to those seeking power & control). the populace is the commodity being sold here.
We are all cooked
Yes.
Cause that’s how much more the debt will go up cause of the tax cuts to the rich.
why we need this? wasn’t muskrat supposed to save like 3x that all by his little self?
we could also do m4a and save that much or more on health care–every two years.
Simple answer? Tax cuts for the rich are going to have to be paid for by creating more public debt.
The problem here is that you’re under the assumption that this isn’t all just intentional. Sure you could ask them if they don’t want this why did they do that–but the whole act was just to pacify you while they’re already onto the next thing. Everything they do is for their personal enrichment no matter the excuse. Also they won’t have to answer any of these types of questions because they have Newmax and their ilk in the press room nowadays and they are far from giving a shit about anything remotely close to that.
A sign of efficiency is often increased costs. /s
I mean why stop there let’s go 999 trillion!
∞ trillion
We are about to have to print million dollar bills aren’t we. I believe it was Zimbabwe that has crazy bill amounts?
Any member of the Democrats voting for this should be exposed and thrown to the voters.
Chuck Schumer will be begging Democrats to pass it through by Wednesday. He’ll say that any debt increase is better than no debt increase.
Oh sweet!
Well that get us 1 trillionaire, or will it be divided up so we get 4 trillionaire? Or dare I say, a dozen billionaires…?
What a surprise this is. /s
