Republicans have said they won't support spending on Biden's agenda, while Democrats are reiterating the point that raising the debt ceiling does not authorize new government spending but allows the government to pay for spending that previous politicians have already OK'd -- including former President Donald Trump and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell."Raising the debt limit is usually a bipartisan undertaking. And it should be.
He called on Republicans to allow Democrats to hold a vote this week without"procedural tricks," he said, because at this point,"We are not expecting Republicans to do their part."President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the debt ceiling during an event in the State Dining Room of the White House, Oct. 4, 2021, in Washington.
Asked following his remarks if it's possible the U.S. will not pay its debt, Biden said he couldn't guarantee it.
Why was there funding for NASCAR in the Covid Relief bill ? Just look at all the nonsense packed into the last big bill , why would we want to add more Dept … I’m a long term Dem and very disappointed in all the spending of other peoples money frivolous and never have to answer

SanctionPakistan, Pakistan is a terrorist country, Relationship with Pakistan is relationship with dangerous terrorists.
Shows the nature of today’s Republican Party with LeaderMcConnell playing the same destructive game as he did during the Obama administration. We must vote them out at all levels so America can liberate itself from their terror and move forward once again.
Republicans never face any consequences for destroying the country. Every time they have power, it's a disaster that Dems have to fix. They sabotage the people of his country so they can blame the pain on Pelosi. We cannot survive as one country anymore.
What is more lamentable is that this kind of attack and shirking of responsibility between the two parties has slowly spread to the people, and society is being torn apart, while politicians are still thinking of 'more interests and less responsibility.'
Blah blah blah, and $3.5T = $0 net…. LetsGoBrandon
They have Congress and the White House they don't need the Rs. Why is Biden making this a big deal?

POTUS is correct; spending was out of control under Trump. Here's the cover art for TheEconomist from Feb. 2018. It ran with the headline: 'America’s extraordinary economic gamble- fiscal policy is adding to demand even as the economy is running hot' Who drove that car? 🤔
So it's all Trumps agenda and non of that debt is corona vaccine research and stimulus checks, Roger that!
Lol, it’s always trump
liar
Aren’t Dems in control?
They raised it when Trump was playing golf.
POTUS : thank you and please remind stupid people to wear masks:
How about we LOWER the limit instead? Stop spending.
