”Freedom Caucus says ‘no further discussion’ on debt ceiling until Senate passes House GOP bill”

“The House Freedom Caucus is calling for “no further discussion” on legislation to raise the debt ceiling until the Senate passes the bill House Republicans approved last month that would pair an increase in the borrowing limit with steep spending cuts.”

These same hypocrites gladly raised the debt ceiling twice for their Messiah even while he was setting new records adding over eight trillion to the debt in only four years

I really think these clowns have zero understanding of what the debt ceiling actually is, and the consequences to the country if it is not passed. From their perspective, it is only a tool they can use politically regardless of the harm it can cause the economy and all Americans, actually, the way they look at it, any resulting damage is good, more ammo for 2024. Not quite what the Founders had in mind

If that's the position, prepare for a default. I suspect the markets are going to react badly to this.

I'm not a Democrat, but I AM AGAINST CUTTING SPENDING.

I would not want the people to spend less...and (even more) do not want the government to spend less. Unfortunately, the entire of our economic system is built on people spending more.

Cutting defense spending would be just fine with me. Cutting anything that provides a social safety net? No way. We need to spend more not less.

They know exactly what they are doing. The GOP does this every year.

Unless there is a Republican in the White House. Then they pass a clean debt ceiling bill. Democrats ALWAYS will pass a clean debt ceiling bill. Because that's what should be done. Period.

They also don't seem to understand that it won't be the POTUS who gets the blame -- it will be them. Unlike the idiots who put these asshat clowns in congress, the rest of us know on whose shoulders any fallout will be. They need independents to win. This is not how to woo them.

If someone gets the blame, that would mean we defaulted and our economy is in the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Default would make 2008, and even Covid look like a picnic. It can't happen. it is the one thing that should NEVER be used as a political tool. Which means, of course, that's exactly what Republicans will do. But in the end, even if McCarthy has to make a deal with Democrats, we will pass a debt ceiling bill. There is talk that Democrats will save McCarthy's speakership if that happens. Seems like a long shot, but you never know.
 
I think some do - but they are calculating that it works for them in the long run if the economy has a huge setback under Biden.

I don't think some of the more high-profile members understand it, at all. I think they are clueless - I'm sure they have seen details on what can happen, but they probably think it's "fake news" or some liberal plot to deceive everyone.

The current House GOP is such a sad group of people. The founders would be dismayed to see where we are in 2023 in terms of our leaders in DC.

You should have told them to negotiate cuts during the last budget debate then because they refused

It’s sad how no lefty’s here understand what happens when our debt becomes too high

They think we just print money whenever we want
