McConnell's strategy: Hurt the country
to help the GOP
Sept 29

Since 1917, when the debt ceiling first
crept into law as a byproduct of World
War I spending increases, it’s been
raised or suspended nearly 100 times.
Eighteen of those were under President
Reagan, nine under George H. W. Bush,
seven under his son, and four under
Trump, along with numerous hikes under
Democratic presidents.

In recent years though, we’ve seen
occasions when every Republican in the
House and nearly every GOP senator has
refused to support debt ceiling
increases under Democratic presidents.
McConnell is guaranteeing there will
be zero Republican votes for the
responsible course this time.

He tries to evade blame by suggesting
the debt ceiling is about debt yet to
be incurred by President Biden’s
programs. It’s not.

Some 97 percent of U.S. debt was
incurred before President Biden became
president, and 89 percent of the
increase in the debt since the ceiling
was last raised, came under Trump.

Destroying the full faith and credit
of the United States is horrific
policy, but good partisan politics.
That he’s doing what’s best for his
party, and by his own admission, worst
for the county, reveals his true
motivation.

Republicans who force the country into
default, will have done more damage to
the United States than any group of
elected officials since those who
seceded to form the Confederate States
of America.

Great nations pay their bills. And
those entitled to be called “leaders”
put country over party.

Why do they need to raise it? Biden says his budget costs nothing...Build Back Better after he destroyed it in the first place

You actually don't know what a debt ceiling vote really means, do you?

Are you surprised? Time and time again, he has done so (*) because it
works for his political goals.

The one exception was excoriating Trump over Jan 6, but even then he has
said he will support Trump if he is the 2024 nominee.

Nothing says 'I'm great' like spending trillions of dollars that we
don't have.
Losing imperial wars doesn't come cheap, but it does allow
military parades in the capitol.

...not helped at all by the regressive 2017 Trump/Republican tax cut
most Americans opposed (and Mitch the Hypocrite suspended the filibuster
to push through).

Of course they do. A lot of non-spending items affects budgets. But,

You said, "Nothing says 'I'm great' like spending trillions of dollars
that we don't have" in response to a post on the debt ceiling. Thus, the
topic is debt, not specifically just spending, and Lee properly listed
tax cuts as an item that affects the debt.

One thing I've noticed about conservatives is their inability to
generalise. Anything different is a novum ovum, and its moral and
political signficance has to be calculated anew. That's hard work
so the usual response is 'it's new so it's bad' unless an
authority figure says otherwise. Since generalisations aren't
allowed: no contradiction is discerned if the authority figure
tells them two almost identical situations must have opposite
interpretations.

Like expensive spending by conservative is good, but expensive by
liberals is bad. 'Ronald Reagan proved that [republican] deficits
don't matter.' Paying for FSLIC good, paying people's rent for
COVID bad.

Tax cuts have nothing to do with spending.
Tax cuts affect how much can be spent, borrowed and the amount of debt that would be piled on at a faster rate than if there were no tax cuts. Fuck, you're a math illiterate.
The Dems are currently on
a massive spending spree that has fired up inflation. We are
discussing *spending*. Attempts to make this about tax cuts is
nothing but a diversion.
Thanks to fat Tubby's tax cuts, not enough money has been spent on the collapsing largely 19th to mid-20th century infrastructure, so rebuilding and creating new infrastructures to meet the growing demands of a growing population definitely depends on taxes. Otherwise, you have to borrow the money at whatever the interest rate is and it'd have to be paid back by raising taxes, not cutting them. Fuck, you're a math illiterate. Typical of dumbfuck stupid right wingers who believe everything should be free.

Wrong.

Trump asked for a debt ceiling raise three
times, Demcorats agreed every time.

Biden askes for just ONE increase, Republicans
go nuts, threaten to shut down the whole government,
and dont even pretend it is about "fiscal conservatism"

"We are here to damage America and damage
Biden, that is our only goal", it seems

don't have.
Like Bush invading Iraq?
Like Bush invading Afghanistan?
Like Trumps "Space Force"?
Like Trump's tax cut?
Conservatives only care about spending

Democrats raise debt ceiling, Republicans say that it is bad.
Republicans raise debt ceiling, Democrats say that it is bar.
Slight revision to that:
Republicans raise debt ceiling, Democrats say it's not enough and
therefore bad.

McConnell's strategy: Hurt the country
to help the GOP
Sept 29
Since 1917, when the debt ceiling first
crept into law as a byproduct of World
War I spending increases, it’s been
raised or suspended nearly 100 times.
Eighteen of those were under President
Reagan, nine under George H. W. Bush,
seven under his son, and four under
Trump, along with numerous hikes under
Democratic presidents.
In recent years though, we’ve seen
occasions when every Republican in the
House and nearly every GOP senator has
refused to support debt ceiling
increases under Democratic presidents.
McConnell is guaranteeing there will
be zero Republican votes for the
responsible course this time.
He tries to evade blame by suggesting
the debt ceiling is about debt yet to
be incurred by President Biden’s
programs. It’s not.
Some 97 percent of U.S. debt was
incurred before President Biden became
president, and 89 percent of the
increase in the debt since the ceiling
was last raised, came under Trump.
Destroying the full faith and credit
of the United States is horrific
policy, but good partisan politics.
That he’s doing what’s best for his
party, and by his own admission, worst
for the county, reveals his true
motivation.
Republicans who force the country into
default, will have done more damage to
the United States than any group of
elected officials since those who
seceded to form the Confederate States
of America.
Great nations pay their bills. And
those entitled to be called “leaders”
put country over party.

US debt is paid in US dollars whose value the US government
mostly controls. Buyers of US debt know this with the expectation
the devaluation will be slow enough they can calculate the
effects on real interest payments.

The same thing is seen with home mortgage. The first year of
payments take up almost all your spare cash. But a few years on
your salary increases, rents are going up, but your mortgage
payments, numerically the same, become a smaller and smaller part
of your budget.

US Treasury can stamp out enough hundred billion coins out of
cheap plastic to pay off the debt today. Of course that will
cheese off debt buyers so they raise the interest they charge to
make it up. So probably not the ideal solution.

Kremlin Girl / Bit of Nothingness shows again she doesn't know a fucking thing
about economics. She's getting completely confused between nominal and real
prices. If the price of everything, including labor (wages), doubles, then
people will buy just as much as they did before. If you had a disposable income
of $50,000 per year and spent all of it, and now the price of everything you
were buying doubles but your disposable income also doubles to $100,000 per
year, you will keep buying the same things.

KG/BoN has never studied even 10 seconds of economics.

First, idiot, consumers pay prices not costs. The only relation
betwixt the twain is eventually cumulative prices have to cover
cumulative costs or bankruptcy. Second, idiot, is national debt
doesn't determine costs. Debt interest is very low and will
remain low as long as the US Treasury is perceived as a safe
place to park money. That depends in part that the US has not
defaulted on debt ever since the Revolution. Third, idiot, costs
can depend on the loan interest charged by the Federal Reserve.
The Reserve alters that interest to control inflation

They pay taxes on the transactions. Debt used to increase the
economy pays for itself. Debt used to suck off billionaires
doesn't. Republicans do that latter whilst simultaneously
threatenning the solvency of the Treasury.

McConnell's strategy: Hurt the country
to help the GOP
Sept 29
Since 1917, when the debt ceiling first
crept into law as a byproduct of World
War I spending increases, it’s been
raised or suspended nearly 100 times.
Eighteen of those were under President
Reagan, nine under George H. W. Bush,
seven under his son, and four under
Trump, along with numerous hikes under
Democratic presidents.
In recent years though, we’ve seen
occasions when every Republican in the
House and nearly every GOP senator has
refused to support debt ceiling
increases under Democratic presidents.
McConnell is guaranteeing there will
be zero Republican votes for the
responsible course this time.
He tries to evade blame by suggesting
the debt ceiling is about debt yet to
be incurred by President Biden’s
programs. It’s not.
Some 97 percent of U.S. debt was
incurred before President Biden became
president, and 89 percent of the
increase in the debt since the ceiling
was last raised, came under Trump.
Destroying the full faith and credit
of the United States is horrific
policy, but good partisan politics.
That he’s doing what’s best for his
party, and by his own admission, worst
for the county, reveals his true
motivation.
Republicans who force the country into
default, will have done more damage to
the United States than any group of
elected officials since those who
seceded to form the Confederate States
of America.
Great nations pay their bills. And
those entitled to be called “leaders”
put country over party.

Both of these articles make the fatal presumption that people will

What do consumers buying products
have to do with the national debt?
Gads, are you incapable of staying

Wow, I actually need to explain this to you????

Consumers don't buy products.
Tax revenue for all sources in the supply chain DROP.
Revenue to the feds decreases

McConnell's strategy: Hurt the country
to help the GOP
Sept 29
Since 1917, when the debt ceiling first
crept into law as a byproduct of World
War I spending increases, it’s been
raised or suspended nearly 100 times.
Eighteen of those were under President
Reagan, nine under George H. W. Bush,
seven under his son, and four under
Trump, along with numerous hikes under
Democratic presidents.
In recent years though, we’ve seen
occasions when every Republican in the
House and nearly every GOP senator has
refused to support debt ceiling
increases under Democratic presidents.
McConnell is guaranteeing there will
be zero Republican votes for the
responsible course this time.
He tries to evade blame by suggesting
the debt ceiling is about debt yet to
be incurred by President Biden’s
programs. It’s not.
Some 97 percent of U.S. debt was
incurred before President Biden became
president, and 89 percent of the
increase in the debt since the ceiling
was last raised, came under Trump.
Destroying the full faith and credit
of the United States is horrific
policy, but good partisan politics.
That he’s doing what’s best for his
party, and by his own admission, worst
for the county, reveals his true
motivation.
Republicans who force the country into
default, will have done more damage to
the United States than any group of
elected officials since those who
seceded to form the Confederate States
of America.
Great nations pay their bills. And
those entitled to be called “leaders”
put country over party.

Nothing says 'I'm great' like spending trillions of dollars that we
don't have.
