From the Washington Post today. Schumer could raise it without any GOP help
Why doesn’t he?
Really? Read your own article. Or my previous post. Because you and the rest of the right will turn around and call them reckless- it would be political suicide. This is an instance where there needs to be bipartisanship. Like there was when Trump kept doing it. The crazy thing is he is the reason we need to do it now. And suddenly Mitch is hiding in the bushes. I know you see what is going on here Chico.

Listen to SD if not me Chico. He is actually being real about this issue. U, as a Trumper, will just default to “oh sure blame Trump” as if he has nothing to do with the position we are in. You’re killing me and im way too busy to play this game with you right now. As usual Trump gets us into a jam and you and Mitch cheer for him, now Biden has to fix it and u and Mitch are hiding in the bushes playing amnesia games.

Trump did spend way too much money. This is why I finally decided to re-register. I was hoping someone with a business side would be better. In hindsight, Mr. Bankruptcy was never going to reduce the debt. I don't recall Trump or republicans every talking about a budget or the debt while he was president, well before COVID was ever a thing.
Of course Biden is going to spend even more, Obama spent tons, Bush Jr. spent tons, etc. It's easy spending other people's money. Hell, even Reagan greatly expanded the national debt.
Agreed with all of this BUT it has always been somewhat of a joint effort. Trump on the other hand will take zero responsibility and since he is holding the GOP hostage and his cult is incapable of placing fault with him it becomes a partisan and political knot. That to me is what is so frustrating. I could live with the old school back n forth while everyone was doing the same thing. I cannot live with the deep rooted hypocrisy and the fuckin spell that Trump has over people like Chico who either do not understand what is going on or dont care as long as their guy isn’t held accountable. It is infuriating.

Raising the debt ceiling needs to be a bipartisan deal. Not by the rules, but by way of not turning it into a political suicide for the ones who have to do it (because of Trumps reckless spending). I know you understand that. Ok now im busy.

2009 saw a dip in federal tax revenue due to the recession. But every year since 2010 it has increased in actual dollars. Revenue is not the problem, spending is.

Yeah I read it and I don’t think u know why wouldn’t Schumer simply push the gop and raise it himself. I think u are missing a nuisance within it procedurally. Schumer needs the gop to raise it so they can ram thru a massive socialist spending bill which no gop member would support. It’s about limits…
Schumer can raise the debt limit himself with any GOP support

The revenue could be even more if not for bullshit tax loopholes and corrupt greedy assholes. Im on lunch break so i came back. [emoji482]
And than they cut spending on things like social security, medicaid, veterans benefits. Its always the little guy that gets fucked. If only someone would actually drain the swamp instead of making it murkier [emoji848]
It is always the Republicans that pass deep tax cuts for the rich SD - and that leads to the little guy losing. It isn’t everything but its a big piece.

I agree with you yet I want to say I don't consider the "stimulus checks" running amuck on spending and that goes for for both of them Trump and Bidens .Yes I realize it added trillions but it was needed .
