[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was cheered on by supporters over the weekend after she threatened to shut down the federal government.

Greene used Saturday's rally in Georgia as a backdrop for her interview with conservative podcaster Steve Bannon.

"We have serious problems," Greene told Bannon. "So what we have to do as Republicans when we're in control of the purse and we're setting these appropriation bills and our budget is — we have to refuse to raise the debt ceiling," the lawmaker insisted. "We have to get spending back under control and we have to do that by any means possible."

"And if that means a government shutdown, then I'll be calling for a government shutdown," she added.

9. The deficit has gone DOWN under Joe Biden and the democrats

Remarks by President Biden on Historic Deficit Reduction

Today, my administration announced that this year the deficit fell by $1.4 trillion — the largest one-year drop in American history — $1.4 trillion decline in the deficit.

Let me repeat that: the largest-ever decline in the federal deficit.

On my watch, things have been different. The deficit has come down both years that I’ve been in office. And I just signed legislation that’s going to relu- — going to reduce it even more in the decades to come.
