TFG urges McConnell to endanger the US economy so Democrats can't pass their spending plan

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump wants Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to use the debt ceiling to "kill" the Biden administration's spending agenda. The only snag: it risks utter economic catastrophe.

Lawmakers have until December 15 to either raise or suspend the limit on how much the government can borrow. The debt ceiling has loomed over Congress since early October when McConnell offered Democrats a two-month extension to the deadline. With the limit fast approaching, Democrats and the GOP are once again sparring over who will keep the US from defaulting on its debt.

Trump called on the minority leader in a Tuesday statement to hold his ground on the issue. Giving Democrats the two-month extension allowed the party to "get their act together" and pass their $1 trillion infrastructure bill, Trump said. McConnell should now leverage the debt ceiling to inflict pain on Democrats and endanger the passage of Biden's social spending package that includes childcare assistance, lower drug prices, and universal pre-K, the former president added.

"Old Crow Mitch McConnell ... must be fully prepared to use the DEBT CEILING in order to totally kill the Democrat's new Social Spending (Wasting!) Bill, which will change our Country forever," Trump said. "Use the Debt Ceiling, Mitch, show strength and courage."

5. We Need To Spread The Message: These People Are Unfit To Govern

I think Democrats need to repeat the message that Republicans are unfit to govern over and over and over again. The myth that Republicans are capable of managing national and state economies as well as govern wisely needs to die. It's blatantly untrue and has been true to any honest, intelligent observer, wherever he or she may be on the political spectrum, for the last quarter century. Responsible government as policy in the Republican Party has been dead and rotten since George W. Bush was inaugurated in January 2001 and it isn't ever coming back.

I feel very strongly about this. So much so that I have to guard my tongue. My Dad and his father were old-fashioned Republicans, of the school that supported governance based on responding to real-world conditions (Regardless of how wrong their analyses might have been) and that strain of thought has been erased from the Republican Party by RINO-hunter ideologues and the Grim Reaper. The kindest thing you can say about those Republicans who claim such notions still govern their party is that they're not only woefully uninformed, they've also chosen not to pay any attention.
