The problem is the republicans raised the debt ceiling every time under Trump and spent like drunken sailors. The whole idea that they are now getting tough on spending is a joke. I'd like to see a list of the ones who are voting against raising the debt ceiling now and voted for it during Trump.

This is slightly off topic but I think the most interesting thing about the debt ceiling issue is how far off they were at calculating when we would run out of money. A couple months ago they thought it would be early fall. Now it's beginning of June. They are blowing thru money at a much faster pace that they thought. Probably because we are in a recession. I think deficits are a much better indicator of the economy then most bogus gov stats like unemployment. When we go into recession spending increases and tax revenue decreases which means the deficits rise. That's a hard objective stat that is hard to hide. The republicans are right to try to cut spending but they're major hypocrites. Almost all of them voted to increase the debt ceiling when Trump was in office. I think it's funny when the dems say we might not be able to make social security payments. Why can't they dip into the "trust fund"? Maybe because there's nothing there but IOUs. Duh.

What a slacker! Do your boss know about your laziness?

With the best vid of all-time!

Hooper eaten! Yes!

Paid troll, The author didn't say that.

It sure seems like they're gearing up for war with China. I'm seeing a constant steam of mainstream news articles about how evil China is.

So it sounds like even the fed paying full price for the banks' crappy paper is not enough to save them. I'm guessing the fed will have to come up with a new bailout strategy pretty soon.
