Not true. What has Congress ever done that leads you to think they don't want money to be spent? seriously.
They refuse to allow the money to be borrowed to be spent.
Congress ordered the meal, but is refusing to pay the bill at the end of the meal.

Uh, Congress spends money and you know that. Stop being a fucking asswipe.
Congress required the spending of the money, and then has required not spending the money.
Congress approved the spending, and in fact, required the spending.
The Republicans passed a bill?

yes Walt......the Republicans passed a bill.....
Then pass a new budget. Republicans have not even written this new budget. There is not an obvious way to write such a budget.
No, they did not.
The House of Representatives narrowly approved a Republican bill that links avoiding a default with enacting spending cuts and several GOP policies rolling back several of President Biden's policies.
you shouldn't debate politics if you are ignorant of politics.....

this isn't writing a budget.

If we default on our debt - on our already established obligations - it's not a bipartisan failure.
It will be Republicans that cause us to default. It will be solely on Republicans.
The economy will go to dark places that are hard to even imagine right now. But Republicans don't care, if they feel like they can gain political advantage. They're willing to create suffering for millions to do that.
If it happens, voters should never forget.
Well, republicans already passed something to expand that limit, now you need to watch the Democraps (dangit, rats*) in the Senate to see if they believe they can still blame the default on republicans and refuse to also pass something to expand the limit.
They passed a bill the Dems cannot agree to. That is how they are manufacturing the crisis. You are pretending McCarthy is an honest legislator. He is the weakest speaker ever and this bill is a product of MTG and other insurrectionists in hiding.
That is one third of the process to pass a bill. Now show the other two steps happened.
Actually, the budget is due before the debt limit rising.
