    Joe Biden has declared himself blameless in the debt crisis, says "I've done my part".

    Yes, Joe, you have done your part in creating it, but denying what you have done does not make you blameless- it makes you irresponsible and false.

    Joe feels the fault lies in the failure of Congress to raise the limits. Joe, your credit card was maxed, but you kept on charging. What the hell did you expect? That the people paying the bills you create, many of whom aren't even born yet would simply cover your ass without a word?

    That is exactly what Joe and the Democrats expect of us. Shut up, pay our bills.

    Very simple. They know the media will parrot what they say and the suckers will believe it.

    I searched and searched for your comments about previous Presidents who also had debt ceilings raised. They don’t exist oddly enough, Why is that?

    It's not like the previous president, who you surely voted for, exploded the deficit from $600 billion to $1 trillion EVEN BEFORE covid, and when the GOP controlled all branches of government. But, then, your side claimed that tax cuts would pay for themselves and you cheered him on.

    Now, you claim that Democrats created this problem. Pardon me, but that dog won't hunt.

    The reality is that both parties created the problem. One by taxing and spending, the other one by not taxing and spending. Somehow, however, the GOP ONLY starts to be fiscally conservative when a Dem is in the WH. Why could that be? Oh, we all know why, and you know it too. Of course, you'd never admit it.

    The left is so entrenched in their agenda, they arrogantly can't fathom that there is anyway any negative repercussions or consequences.

    It's easier just to blame others why their ideological values continue to fail in reality.

    There is not a single word Biden can say that you can trust. In the below link Biden Tweets a whooper of a lie, he typed it out so nothing can be blamed on his stuttering, and the Washington Post gave it bottomless Pinocchios.

    It’s time for the five time world champion of military deferments to head off to the glue factory.

    Several reasons. One is that the deficit that has been created this time is monumental, a record setter.
    Another is that failing to call a halt to such a policy sets a precedent that will allow it to become SOP, and one hell of a lot harder to stand up to next time.
    The next is- that enough is enough. The people are paying the bills; we deserve some fiscal responsibility from our elected officials.
    IF you fail to demand responsibility- you will never get it.

    Ask yourself how far you want the overspending to go before you say enough is enough. Unless you are a fool- and I do not assume that- you will come to that point somewhere along the line.
    The difference between where you call it and I call it answers your question.

    There's an old saying- How do you know when he's lying? When his lips are moving.

    That was never any more true than with Joe Biden.

    The bold part is 100% patently false if your claim is it had risen but the most ever for a President. Otherwise every time it has been raised it’s a record setting total debt.

    Anything...... ANYTHING..... that happens with the debt ceiling in 2 weeks will 100% be on the MAGApublicans...They know it and the thread turd polishers do as well...

    I'm a little disappointed Joe even met with the slime involved, since I'm against negotiating with economic terrorists, but he gave it a shot...

    Joe needs to do what he has to do.... Frankly, the last Congress should have raised the debt ceiling to 600 Billion Trillion, making the entire thing meaningless...

    Maybe some day, one of the major newspapers will assign a man (or woman) to do nothing but track all of the lies of a president.

    Oh... wait....

    We live within a budget, when it's gone, we hold tight until our budget is replenished week to week, month to month.. We should hold our government to the same standards we live by....

    Democrats simply have no concept of what all this will mean at some point in their lives..

    Hold the line Congress!

    Presidents can't control government spending. Congress does. Let's place the blame where it goes.

    Why?

    Why should Biden agree to the House GOP's spending cutting plans, which has the aim to get the GOP back in full power by hurting the economy, only for the next GOP president with control of Congress to push through another tax cut and explode the deficit again? You know it has happened before. i.e. Obama followed by Trump. Now, it is a cynical view, but it is pretty clear that our politicians rely on the electorate to not think and to make voting decisions based on emotions and 2 s sound bites.

    Biden Spending Cuts Could Lead to Spike in STDs: Democrat voters are statistically more likely to be infected.

    [​IMG]
    'Clawing back unspent funds allocated for the COVID-19 pandemic is "one of the areas of agreement between House Republicans and the White House" as the two sides attempt to forge a deal to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending.'

    'Some public health officials have warned that clawing back these funds would "undermine work to slow the spread of syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and hepatitis."'

    'Democrat voters are statistically more likely to be harmed by an increase in STDs.'

    'Studies show that STDs are far more common in non-married individuals, who are more likely to be Democrats, than married individuals, who are more likely to vote Republican.'

    'Gay men, a solidly Democrat voting bloc, are at greater risk of STD infection compared with the rest of the population, according to the Centers for Disease Control.'

    Because Joe just announced he wasn't responsible. Since you think that's stupid, guess what I think....

    Why don’t you demand fiscal responsibility when the party of fiscal responsibility is at the helm? It seems to only be an issue when it’s a Democratic president.

    It amazes me that Trumpers would accuse liberals of benign in denial. Did you prove the election was stolen yet?
