Raise spending now, with empty promises to cut spending in the future. Thus do empires collapse of their own dead weight.

Let's hope this time it will be different. McCarthy has a shotgun pointing at his head, if he blinks his speakership is finished

Small correction: Only revenue raising laws are required to start in the House. Article I, Section 7, of the Constitution provides that all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives

Adding to this video. Does the public realize our Medicare/Medicaid is facing insolvency by 2027; meanwhile, the largest population of the baby boomers (72 million) are set to retire in the next 10 years?

Folks, we face a crisis. Revenue: $4.9T. Spending: $6.3T. Imagine earning $79K, and spending $96K. Unsustainable. Raising the debt ceiling without spending cuts worsens it. We must act. Music: License: MIROSNHOLFSH2XUU

We’re coming up on a debt ceiling crisis. Best we understand how we got here and what’s truly at stake. #CivicsWithSass

Yikes! Kevin McCarthy just got called out to his face live on CNBC over his debt ceiling hypocrisy. The host noted that McCarthy raised the debt ceiling 3 times under Trump and added $2 trillion to the deficit with his tax cuts for the wealthy.

"A basic clean debt ceiling increase will not pass and would be chaos," says Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman. "A standalone clean debt ceiling is dead on arrival...In modern times, the debt ceiling is raised with negotiations."

The debt ceiling debate is a MAGA-manufactured crisis. We need to pay our bills. And then have a responsible conversation about future spending. Period.

The debt ceiling doesn’t keep our national debt down, but it does threaten long-term financial harm. Watch me apply a debt ceiling to everyday life—and see why it doesn’t work.

Constitutional scholar, John Fetterman dressed up today to encourage Joe Biden to weaponize the 14th Amendment and usurp Congress's constitutional authority to determine federal spending as it relates to the debt ceiling. At least, I think that's what his aides wrote down for him.

Biden’s idea of a clean debt ceiling is far outside of the mainstream. 58% of Democrats think we should bring in spending to raise our debt ceiling.

I support President Donald J. Trump's tax cuts. I support a secure border. Just build the wall, don’t build the debt. Remove the $5T increase to the debt ceiling from the bill, and it has my vote. Thank you for having me, Charlie Kirk.
