Biden plots debt ceiling blitz to focus the blame on McConnell

While acknowledging they would far prefer using other avenues, White House officials said Monday that they

Though he has said the debt ceiling will be — and should be — raised, McConnell has made it clear he wants no part in helping Biden, and insists Democrats must go it alone after he gave them “nearly three months’ notice to do their job.” On Monday, Biden joined Yellen in talking up the kitchen table repercussions of a default: Sending the economy over a cliff, he said, risks jobs and retirement savings, Social Security benefits, salaries for service members and benefits for veterans, among other items.

Faced with these prospects, some progressives are wishing the White House would go much further — and think more creatively — than it is currently doing. Josh Bivens, director of research at the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank, said he’s come to prefer a route specified by some Democrats that would punt the debt limit years and years into the future.

Politico has swung with the right! Adios!

What’s sad is will dutifully trumpet this bullshit and their readers will lap it up, never once asking where Biden’s unity pledge went. The D’s went scorched earth and they can’t even get their own caucus aligned. This is all on them.

Stop snitching

Politico's new right wing agenda is as clear as water. Its new right wing owner must be happy.

oh telling the truth. Hmmmm. How novel.

Remember when the Republicans pulled this stunt and shut down government? Federal employees were furloughed? That backfired on them and they were blamed in following election. Democrats need to paint them with the big broad brush again.

An attempt to shift the blame? Republicans are to blame, no shifting needed. No. Do your job Politico and report the truth. Republicans are refusing to pay for their own massive spending. How very trump of them.

i.e. explaining what's actually happening.

Skepmi “Shift blame” makes zero effort to conceal its right wing bias. Sickening.

'MINORITY LEADER' think about that for a second. Now, how is the minority leader to blame? They don't need his support to get the job done.

JonLemire Why is your reporting always so bad? They aren't shifting the blame. The blame has always been with McConnell's hypocritical approach of blocking anything the Democrats do - even if it's of critical importance to our country.

JonLemire *shift the blame* is not what they're doing. highlighting the origins & source for this shameful carry-on by McConnell & the GOP is what they're doing.

Exactly. Take control of the narrative.

As it should be! Call his ass out! McTraitor is ALWAYS the culprit!🤨

JonLemire It about time. Control the narrative

But democrats have both branches of Congress and Biden is the president. It's factually democrats fault

I never knew I will be able to pay off my bills and get to my stand again in life. I want you guys to help me appreciate earn_with_Jens1 for introducing me to bitcoin and forex (binary option) and he has been of great help to me and my kids you are an angel in human form

That's right where the blame belongs. KY has two pitiful US senators.

JonLemire Where it belongs.

JonLemire Reconciliation. Known about it for two months. Mitch McConnell is a legislative genius.

They did it with glee when the fake president was in and lowered the tax on the very wealthy

McConnell literally said it was him. Doh

Who runs DC right now?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

McConnell reactivates his connection to Biden — with a sharp debt warningBiden and McConnell have long bragged about their close working relationship. Now, at perhaps the most critical time, they're not even trying to negotiate. At a certain point, even a youngster like Joe Biden gets tired of holding his hand out in an effort to work with MoscowMitch Now it's time to put the gloves up. Biden's agenda has the support of 70% of Americans but he's supposed to negotiate on Grim Reaper Mitch's level...so basically he should add 10 new SCOTUS justices. .This is bullsh*t. When MConnell lies about the debt ceiling, and every other damn thing he lies about, it isn't 'both sides'. You should be ashamed of yourselves for suggesting 'both sides'.

Biden, McConnell remain at ddds over extending debt ceiling as possible default looms'They [Republicans] need to stop playing Russian roulette with the U.S. economy....If you don't want to help save the country, get out of the way,' Biden said. Biden has maybe 5, 10 years left of life. He won’t have to live with the repercussions of his insane spending plans and the resulting inflation. Get out of the way, old man, before you render all the dreams and work of middle class Americans obsolete.
