See ya, Vicky.
These people really don’t understand the difference between household budgets and sovereign nations, do they? Does she think a bank is going to repo an aircraft carrier or something?
They really don’t and if you tried to explain it they would ignore you and change the subject.
Exactly. I learned that it is a waste of time to try to have a discussion with this kind of person way back in the 80s. They’re willfully ignorant.
They’ve upgraded to malicious ignorance.
They largely don’t understand the role of government spending in the economy. These folks barely understand econ 101.
They know, they just don’t care.
Get rid of the debt ceiling and move those debates to where they belong, in the budget.
-
Someone tell this worthless person that national debt does not work like personal debt, and that the debt of the world’s reserve currency is even more different.

As a Republican, you’re not saving the Republic at all, bless your heart.
Resigning would be the closest any republican gets to “saving the republic.”
While national debt doesn’t work like personal debt, I still isn’t good and our country’s national debt and the rate at which its increasing should be a concern. We had a few countries in recent years demonstrate on a very small scale its problems… see Greece for instance. As the world’s largest economy the US wont have anyone to bail us out like the EU very painfully did for Greece.
The US should be rolling back the Republican-era tax cuts to stop the hemorrhaging.
As long as the United States continues to make payments on its debt obligations, there’s no real reason why anyone wouldn’t still lend it money. After all, the only reason to not lend money is if the lender believes the risk of non-payment is too great, and if that ever happened there’s probably a great many more worse things going on (like the US not being a functional country anymore.)
This I don’t know for certain, but I would guess that Greece isn’t a comparable hypothetical to the US, since Greece as a member of the Eurozone uses the euro as their currency and thus can’t control it the same way the US controls the dollar. Also doesn’t Greece have similar issues with tax-dodging as the US?
The US should be rolling back the Republican-era tax cuts
On this we completely agree.

So she’s upset that Republicans passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 under Trump that added $2.289 trillion in new national debt, right? Right?!
You just don’t understand. Tax cuts allowed job creators to create more jobs. Tax cuts are like printing money for everyone in the whole country. Do you know what we need to solve the debt crisis? More tax cuts! Maybe we eliminate the IRS altogether.
/s
Probably mad about the two Trillion dollar giveaway called the Paycheck Protection Program that Trump signed.
I live in her district. She is an obvious Russian agent. I got a call from her campaign before her first election and they asked me “How important is improving trade and diplomatic relations between the US and Russia to you as a voter?”
The most important thing! Behind voting reform; behind protecting people’s rights; behind weath inequality; behind healthcare; behind green initiatives; behind infrastructure; behind judge appointments; behind funding for social programs; behind reform of the prison system; behind living wages; behind…
And then finally relations between US and Russia. On second thought, nahh I don’t really care.
She is an obvious Russian agent.
She’s literally a Ukrainian immigrant who advocates against Russia.
From the far, far eastern provinces of Ukraine.
(For those who aren’t aware: those were filled with Russian agents paid to move there to help the take over)
She’s such a deep plant she wants Ukraine to get weapons to fight against Russia for reasons… Impeccable logic you got there
so did she vote with the dems to keep the govt open and the aid flowing?
Yes actually
oh
Ok, so she voted for the spending, but now doesn’t want to pay for it?
I don’t like her and won’t vote for her, but that doesn’t make her a Russian shill.
This is stupid. “Did she…?!” “Uh, yeah.” “Oh okay, well what about…?!” “Actually yes.” “Well did she—!”
Shut the fuck up, dude.
them terroruzzzkies are sneaky like that
she doesn’t event bother to affect her speech pattern, I saw a clip of her the other day speaking like a russian plant in congress and its fucken outrageous shes that brazen and no one seems to care?
She’s Ukrainian… That’s just the way she talks.
Oh no!
Anyway
If Congress does not pass a debt commission this year to move the needle on the crushing national debt and inflation, at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024, I will not continue sacrificing my children for this circus
Ahh. So she’s one of the child sacrifice Republicans
Arent they all? They’re pro birth because you need em alive for the sacrifice.
At this point, I think Republicans just hate the concept of life.
She won’t resign. It’s all standard GOP theatrics.
Unless she finds a better-paying gig on OAN.
I’d prefer that she self-immolate on the floor of congress. Make a real statement.
Nothing says “I’m serious” like self-immolation.
“I will not continue sacrificing my children for this circus”, I’m really glad for her remaining children. smh
If Congress does not pass a debt commission this year to move the needle on the crushing national debt and inflation, at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024…
She is priming for public support to force the US to default. This will be either to extract concessions from opposition in Congress (like a hostage negotiation), or to create a global economic catastrophe. Or both.
Of course, she will not resign. She swears a false oath. This was a winning strategy for them in June. Naturally, they will try it again.
If she was really serious, she’d put forth a resolution to repeal the 2017 tax laws that gave $1.5 trillion to the ultra wealthy, increase corporations taxes to pre Reagan days, and individuals taxes to Eisenhowers day.
Other than that, fuck right off you Mewling Quim.
I wish more people thought like you do. This is exactly how we go here.
Seriously. Reverse Trump’s bullshit and that’s over $200b annually we get back.

Every Republican who resigns from politics should be given a check from Crime Stoppers
Good. Resign then
Boy, that picture of her is a meme diamond in the rough. You can see her lizard skin poking through the human costume!
