I thought they wanted to cut spending? Yet they want no debt ceiling?

[@lawrenceksyahoocom]

The debt ceiling is silly. If this turns into an opportunity to get rid of it, that would be a win for the Dems. The knock down drag out should happen during the budget negotiations.

[@texroy1644]

​@lawrenceksyahoocom lol, the debt ceiling is silly say Republicans when they want unfettered access for tax cuts. Stop acting as if you are clueless as to why it's an issue now.

[@wisemanofsorts6068]

The debt ceiling expires in March. They can't eliminate a 2T deficit in 6 weeks. Therefore, the debt limit needs to be extended. They want to eliminate it because its dumb. It doesn't actually prevent the government from wasting money. It instead just wastes time and leads to these convoluted bills to raise the debt limit, which are full of a bunch of unnecessary items in order to get enough votes.

[@StupidFoxInSpace]

It is now advantageous for Republicans to get of the debt ceiling so that it is not an issue when it needs to be raised. A few years ago, the crazies shut down the govt because they thought the debt ceiling allowed the govt to spend more money, but that’s not what it does. It allows us to pay back the money we have already borrowed. Since republicans are now in power, they dont want the news saying that they are raising the same thing that they railed against. Also now democrats can use the same function against the republican to shut down the govt. Which is the real reason why they want to take it away. They dont want the ability for the Republicans to look like they are for raising debt. Even though, it must happen for the USA to remain a good borrower.

[@dbmorton1114]

Queen Elonia is our first trans president. Thanks MAGA. 🤣

[@rosemariebredahl9519]

If all Republicans in the House agreed, the Republican majority there wouldn't need House Democrats. Ex: Raising the debt ceiling for Trump, but asking for it in advance so Biden can be blamed.

The Weaponization of Taxation Regardless of which party. Enacting taxation then giving “tax breaks and credits’ to some is weaponization. The Federalist Papers. Author: James Madison “The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice.”

[@MelodyBosh]

If Trump and Musk didnt speak out whats bad on the bill people would not even know whats going on. The people need to know whats going on. So what Elon Musk spoke out and said the bill is bad. He just said what everyone was thinking that read the bill or knows all the things on it. It was not a clean simple bill like it was suppose to be.

Congress. quit thinking like the rich and wealthy. Go back to the basics. basic financial planning. If something is Affordable, its price is reasonable, it is inexpensive, and most people can afford it. An affordable product or service is one that is within most people’s budget. In this context, the word ‘ budget ‘ means how much money somebody has available or put aside to purchase something. Think affordable.
