Debt ceiling thread, 2023 edition

[ChumpDumper]

Your party is the one that blows up the deficit every single time it's in power since Reagan to give rich people more money and even worse your 2017 blowjob to corporations who just spent that money on stock buybacks. GTFO whining about deficits. You and the GOP don't give two s about them and never have. Deficit talk is just PR for not taxing the rich.

Yep.

[ChumpDumper]

Biden could have sat down and discussed some budget compromises months ago. It didn't have to come down to the wire like this. 150 billion a year of cuts is better than nothing. Damn you whine a lot.

CC folds.

We don't have a taxing and revenue problem, we have a spending problem.

[ChumpDumper]

We don't have a taxing and revenue problem, we have a spending problem.

Now it's not both sides.

I answered your "question" dumbass.

[CosmicCowboy]

Now it's not both sides.

It's both sides, dumbass. I have never claimed the Republicans were blameless.

[ChumpDumper]

I answered your "question" dumbass.

You absolutely did not.

Don't pretend you did.

That makes you a liar and a coward.

[baseline bum]

What a load of simple-minded parroted bull . You care about the deficit but you blow it up every time your party is in power since what you really want is for oligarchs to not have to pay for anything that makes the lives of regular Americans any better.

Republicans could have just raised the ceiling and work out cuts in the actual budget process which originates in the house.

CC pretends they couldn't.

150 billion a year of cuts is better than no cuts. That answered your question.

The budget was passed in the lame duck session when Democrats still ran things. Quit lying.

[ChumpDumper]

150 billion a year of cuts is better than no cuts. That answered your question.

No it did not.

That can be done in the actual budget.

So why does your side have to threaten the United States over them on a regular basis?

What the is wrong with you?



I'll wait for an actual answer.

I expect you're going to whine more and resort to more personal insults that have nothing to do with the discussion.

2021

The budget was passed in the lame duck session when Democrats still ran things. Quit lying.

cuts can't be made in the regular budget process going forward?

Please explain how Congress is forbidden to do anything but threaten not paying the debt that has already been accrued.

Only your side makes this a real possibility.

2021

It got raised. Why the whining?

[ChumpDumper]

150 billion a year of cuts is better than no cuts.

What was the difference in budget deficits between FY2021 and FY2022?

Wasn't it like $1.4 trillion lower in 2022?

Why are you whining over 150 billion?

[CosmicCowboy]

What was the difference in budget deficits between FY2021 and FY2022?

Wasn't it like $1.4 trillion lower in 2022?

what happened in 2021 that was different?

[ChumpDumper]

what happened in 2021 that was different?

COVID. We decided to bail out the wrong people. And the lower budget was passed without holding the US hostage.

How much did your Trump's tax cuts add to the debt you pretend to not like?

[ChumpDumper]

And these questions are still pending.

So why does your side have to threaten the United States over them on a regular basis?

What the is wrong with you?

I am not saying I advocate the debt ceiling negotiations but it seems like that is the only time we seriously acknowledge and talk about our ever increasing debt load.

[ChumpDumper]

You just both sidesed your advocacy.

Maybe advocate your party's not blowing up the deficit every time they're in charge.

[CosmicCowboy]

You just both sidesed your advocacy.

I'm not stupid enough to "one side" it like you do. Both parties have their issues.

Your side sure never talks about the deficit when they're in power. They just blow it up.

[ChumpDumper]

You don't advocate changing any of your party's issues.

[CosmicCowboy]

You don't advocate changing any of your party's issues.

Sure I do. For starters

I am firmly pro-choice
I think we can spend our military budget much better.
I disagree with a lot of the social the Texas legislature wastes their time over.
