Open in app or online Saturday soapbox: hey Joe, just ignore the **** out of the debt ceiling and keep paying the bills what is Kevin going to do about it, besides whine and cry? Jeff Tiedrich May 27     Share   hey Joe, I don’t write much about economics because I don’t know much about economics. but I do know this: Republicans are economic terrorists and they are not negotiating in good faith. it’s a hostage situation. unindicted sex-pest Matt Gaetz has already blurted the quiet part out loud. and I’m hearing distressing things about a deal that’s in progress. Upgrade to paid please, Joe, don’t negotiate with bomb-throwers. **** those “freedom caucus” *****. the debt ceiling isn’t even real. it’s a construct. it violates the 14th Amendment. it’s outlived whatever imaginary usefulness it ever had. ignore it, Joe. just keep paying the nation’s bills. blame it on the 14th Amendment. let Kevin cry and moan and whine and pout and bite his upper lip and tweet out lies. **** Kevin, he’s an unserious dipshit who is more interested in keeping his job than in keeping America running. what’s more, Kevin knows he’s full of s***. Joe, have you seen this video? listen to Kevin back in 2017: Joe, please: stop negotiating and just keep paying the bills. for the good of America and the world. thanks for listening, Joe. have a great Memorial Day weekend. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.

Let’s just state the obvious. Joe doesn’t pay the the bills. You, me and every current and future citizen pays the bills.

"I just got off the phone with the president a bit ago. After he wasted time and refused to negotiate for months, we've come to an agreement in principle that is worthy of the American people," McCarthy said.

"You, me and every current and future citizen" will also bear the costs associated with not raising the debt limit, which will be a lot more than just paying the current bills.

Republicans are political terrorists.  They couldn't care less about reducing the debt. If the debt was the real issue, tax increases wouldn't be off the table.

Don't get me wrong I don't support defaulting on our debt. But I think our representatives need to figure out how to manage and work within a budget. I even believe, which I've stated in a previous thread, that I think moderately raising taxes is an okay option, and if federal spending is decreased too, the deficit will melt away. Deficit spending should be the exception not the norm.
