Two ways (at least) to look at this, there's the take on hostage taking with unrelated issues

...and there is the reality and damage that defaulting on the debt costs the country
Defaulting is like committing to buying something on credit and then defaulting on making the minimum payments, it is the same if not worse for the government to default on payments as it is for people, except when the government does it it directly costs hundreds of billions of dollars...and indirectly tanks the stock market and other markets around the world.

The main thing is that republicans can't seem to do the responsible thing and not destabilize the economy at a time when we don't need anything that adds to an already turbulent market.

Then there is the hostage taking, and republicans seem to think they can extort unrelated things they want, and it's democrat's fault if the economy goes south because they don't cave in to extortion.

***Republican Stupidity On Debt Ceiling
>>>Do you realize how stupid that sounds? It is Republican intelligent moves no the debt ceiling to start the process of cutting the overall debt that is being done. Any intelligent person should support that.

As usual you have it backwards and accuse Republicans of doing what Democrats have done for years, but you have always been a fraud. Now run off and hide like is your normal practice.

Liberty, it is widely known that what is needed at the moment is to pay for the overspending of trump, that is why we now need yet another rise in the debt ceiling..

I also want to make clear that while the republicans have for generations labeled the Dems as the tax and spend party, the mess the national debt has become is caused by the republicans spending wild and putting everything on the credit card.. if the GOP had made payment a part of spending we would not be in this position at all. now they hold the government hostage in order to try and resuscitate the remains of the republican party.. to little, to late.. trump destroyed the old GOP as he tried to destroy the USA.. now comes the need to pay the piper and the GOP will be held to pay for what the trumpster did..

How did Trump spend without Congress? Of course you failed to mention Biden's big spending bills. Democrats plan has always been tax and spend.

Trump increased the debt by 4 trillion in 4 years of his administration..

Joe Biden had cut the deficit in half in just 2 years of his administration..

So much for the BS of republicans cutting costs.. Republicans are the very reason for cost overruns and the huge national debt we must modify..

“Republican Stupidity On Debt Ceiling”

I agree. The debt ceiling should not be raised $1. Any deficit should be addressed with immediate spending cuts. There’s more than enough fat to trim and useless government agencies to eliminate.

So you are good with your boy Brandon running us further into debt by spending on nonsense like Global Warming, welfare, and buying votes ?

Trump was faced with COVID shutdowns and expenses, Biden from the recovery. All of his bills have not yet kicked in. Ask the American people how they are doing under Biden. How is Biden's 37% approval rating doing. I guess that is Trump's fault too.

There used to be a feminine cleansing product on store shelves with your name on it. Then, you voted for Biden. Now, all of your tranny friends are having trouble flushing out their manjinas.
America sucks under Democrat rule. It's even affecting your friends who can't find their manpons on the shelves.

Whose programs should we cut ?
Only the democratic programs ?
Well, of course ,
The right has no programs other than tax breaks for morbidly rich people .
The very same programs responsible for creating the massive debt we are now faced with.
Reagan gave tax breaks to the rich
Bush43 gave tax breaks to the Rich
Trump gave tax breaks to the rich
All did this instead of paying down the debt .
All are still loved today !
I don’t know for what !
