Republicans are against extending the debt limit except when a republican is president. Extending the debt limit does not authorize new spending. Rather, it allows Treasury to borrow to pay for expenses already incurred. If the country cannot pay its financial obligations, it will default and create chaos in the economy, in the markets, and with retirees collecting Social Security retirement benefits. The solution is to have a balanced budget by increasing revenues and/or decreasing spending. The problem is Republicans have, and would continue to, give tax cuts to the rich and to corporations further decreasing revenues and try to cut spending on things like Medicare and Social Security instead of on the obscene defense budget.One of the conditions of the MAGAs to support McCarthy was to refuse to extend the debt ceiling. That would guarantee a default of the US government.
1. I'm still posting about Canadian pussy when I get it (and I intend to get it soon)I love how “Canadians” seem to have all the spare time in the world to rant and rave about a political party that is not even in their country.
Why not focus a little on the drama teacher who is spending your money like a drunken sailor.
Really sad when Canadians need to open half a dozen threads and rave for now over 5 years about the same crap continuously and on an escort review board no less. Seems pussy isn’t that interesting anymore.
Ironically it is the same small group of 6-7 posters maintaining their life long ambition I guess of bashing a party south of the border.
Actually kind of sad that this amount of time and energy is wasted on posting the same stuff day after day.
By now we all get it lol Democrats = Heroes Republicans = Traitors
Thank you for the Incredible enlightenment.So like it or not, what happens here in US politics affects Canada too.
I agree with you except both Republicans and especially Democrats want to keep on spending taxpayers money. They got no interest to balance the budget. Time for government to keep its spending in check.Republicans are against extending the debt limit except when a republican is president. Extending the debt limit does not authorize new spending.

This is funny, sorry to burst your bubble but the Democrats also give tax cuts to the rich and corporations. The previous Democrat government did this and so is the current one. Only difference is Democrats are hypocrites.The problem is Republicans have, and would continue to, give tax cuts to the rich and to corporations further decreasing revenues and try to cut spending on things like Medicare and Social Security instead of on the obscene defense budget.
The fundamental problem with our system of government is this: every Congressman- Republican and Democrat - is re-elected (or not) based on how much federal money and jobs they bring back into their district. For example, in Kevin McCarthy's district, the economy is farming and oil and he is expected by these constituencies to bring federal money back to them for the farming and oil industries. Years ago, Republican Alaska Senator Ted Stevens brought federal billions back to his district for the so called "Bridge To Nowhere", which is often cited as the greatest example of wasteful spending in US Congressional history. These are the things all Congressman are expected to do- lobby for federal funds for projects and jobs in their district. When the money materializes the constituents are happy, but when the money goes to other districts for worthier projects, the constituents are pissed off, complain about federal spending and vote their congressman out of office.I agree with you except both Republicans and especially Democrats want to keep on spending taxpayers money. They got no interest to balance the budget. Time for government to keep its spending in check.
I'm not sure what you are referring to but I know what bubble you live in. When did Dems give tax cuts to the rich and corporations? Tax cuts to the rich and corporations are a Republican core policy - trickle down economics is a failed and flawed Republican economic principle. Perhaps you can educate us. During the Obama administration - because of the fiscal crisis and recovery - there were tax cuts for the middle class, working families, and small businesses.I agree with you except both Republicans and especially Democrats want to keep on spending taxpayers money.

Wait a minute. This is a thread on the Republican party, isn't it? If not here then where can members opine about the GOP? I refuse to believe you are against free speech, so that can't be it. Puzzling. Nevertheless, feel free to memorialize all the good you see in today's MAGA Republicans. Likewise, you can use the existing thread on the Democratic party to tell us about all their evils and failures.Thank you for the Incredible enlightenment.
Who would have thought that our largest export and trading partner with a population of over 350 mil right next door would have influence over us and the fact that it has the number one economy and is the worlds leading super power.
That was not my point, my point was that a select few for 5 years now have been doing nothing but bashing one particular party south of the border on multiple threads and have very little to say about their own mis managed government.
One in particular is doing nothing but trolling these political threads and is completely obsessed by them.
Again you are missing the point.Wait a minute. This is a thread on the Republican party, isn't it? If not here then where can members opine about the GOP?
