1. Sabotage

[no_hypocrisy]

2. No problem! Raise taxes. Collect delinquent and unpaid taxes.

Lower the Debt with more Revenue.

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. This is about debts already owed- if ceiling isn't raised, world economy collapses.

It will come down to :
1) the debt ceiling is raised via the reconciliation bill, or
2) the filibuster dies

[eShirl]

3. guess corporations and the ultrarich will have to cough up their fair share of taxes

finally

[JohnSJ]

4. Then we will do it through reconciliation, and McConnell can go fuck himself

[ZonkerHarris]

5. TAX THE RICH!

6. They WANT a default - and are no doubt huddling with Paul Singer

That's what Eric Cantor did during the last debt ceiling crisis in 2011.

7. It's their debt from the Trump years. The whole Biden presidency is following the usual

GOP routine. They destroy the economy and/or start wars, then the next Democrat elected who tries to clean up the mess is blamed.

9. No Republican will help lift a finger to do anything for America.

However, they will bend over backwards for Putin.

[BeckyDem]

10. GOP

Good Old Pathology.



End the filibuster.

[GoodRaisin]

11. We've heard this before.

Let’s see, last time it was TFG shutting down the government. Caved after about 4-5 weeks with egg on his face.

12. That's only for tax cuts, right Turtleboy?

[W_HAMILTON]

13. Even more reason to eliminate the filibuster!
