Some of you nutburgers get way out of hand with insulting the other posters. Keep the talk about the topics and not the posters.
Can't avoid projecting can you? Look at the posts that provoke the deserved responses. Start with Putz boy and work your way through. Hypocrisy and double standards are hard concepts for you nutburgers to grasp.
GOP has trouble with them too.

Everything old is new again, so the big stupid thing currently animating American politics is The Debt Ceiling. For the umpteenth time, raising the debt ceiling does not authorize new spending. It authorizes the United States government to meet its debt obligations on spending that already happened.
It's sort of like if you had to draft a formal letter informing Visa you intend to pay your credit card bill before paying the bill. That is to say, its existence is in no way necessary, and dealing with it is not a productive use of time. Naturally, it's a hot topic for the current Congress, in which House Republicans have revived their time-honored ploy of threatening to hold the debt ceiling hostage.
Unnecessary as the mechanism may be, refusing to raise the ceiling would risk kicking off a global financial crisis, and the Madhouse of Representatives is demanding spending cuts in exchange for their cooperation in avoiding this very avoidable scenario.
The catch here is that House Republicans haven't actually made any demands, at least in terms of specific spending cuts. They've mused about cuts to Medicare and Social Security, then backtracked and said those are off the table.
A few have talked about cutting defense spending, a refreshing bit of consistency with regard to assessing our debt issues—we spend $7 trillion or more per decade there—but that's also off the table. The only thing truly on the table is more vague and amorphous rhetoric about the horrors of Our National Debt.
While many of the nitwits engaging in the rhetoric are the same assholes who voted, without f'ing question, to raise the debt limit WITHOUT demanding spending cuts all 4 of Trump's years.
