And now a word from an absolute idiot...the headline says it all..... the catch word....MIGHT

Collins says 'some Republicans' might help on debt limit if Democrats ditch jobs plan



By Josh Israel -October 5, 2021 11:45 AM

But Susan Collins still supports Senate Republicans' obstruction.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said Monday that she and other Senate Republicans might allow Democrats to avert a catastrophic default on the national debt — but only if they agree to abandon President Joe Biden's Build Back Better plan.

"Some Republicans would vote to raise the debt limit if they knew the Democrats were going to abandon the $3.5 trillion package," Collins told reporters, "which appears unlikely, but that's an agreement that could be reached."

The Senate GOP has been using the filibuster to block efforts by the Democratic majority to raise the debt limit, a statutory cap on how much money the nation can borrow to pay for spending already passed by Congress and the interest on its existing debt. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that without action by Oct. 18, the United States will default on its debt for the first time.

Hey Maine seriously how does it really look and feel to have this POS sitting in the senate basically blackmailing this country and the world economies...she fucking voted for a 1.5 trillion tax cut....that has ballooned to over 8 trillion in lost revenue to pay the debt, that is now due, and she now says this shit.... because that tax cut did nothing except pad the pockets of the wealthy and the corporations, hedge funds to not pay taxes how many fucking jobs did that tax cut create, and now she's blackmailing on job creations....what the fuck does she want and her fascists' party, nothing really .....JFC....and she still has that "concerned" BS dribbling out of her mouth and all of these reporters are not holding her accountable for her BS .......

Why do reporters insist on interviewing her? They might as well find a nice tree stump to interview instead.
