Remember when President Biden wasted months by insisting he would not negotiate? Republicans stuck together and forced him to the table.

😂😂😂 He invited you to negotiate the BUDGET as soon as you cobbled together even a vague plan. He still says the debt ceiling is not negotiable, and apparently you agree?

Remember when you got elected Speaker… keep that in mind. Stop negotiating and hold the line!

💯% NONSENSE. Kevin, it's not like we've forgotten Biden's stern refusal to haggle when the bills come calling. His insistence on a clean debt ceiling, to pay up for what we already owe is etched in our memory. He cautioned against the catastrophic credit downgrade that could spell doom for our economy, annihilate retirement funds, and trigger a tidal wave of trillions in interest. Your track record with clean debt ceilings during the Trump years is a triptych of unprotested compliance. Ever stopped to think about that $23,636 bill, Kevin? That is the debt legacy that your $7.8 trillion spending binge with Trump has left behind, affecting everyone, including you, your children, and your grandmother. We're all holding the bag for that hefty sum after a mere four-year tenure. Curious about how many champagne buckets you filled on billionaires' yachts via your $1.7 trillion tax breaks? Roughly $5,151 worth per individual. A debt ceiling isn't a fiscal diet, Kevin. It's settling the bill for what's already been devoured. Skipping out on this is like ditching a credit card bill while trying to budget. It's a fast track to financial ruin. Our tax revenue ought to be a lifeline for struggling compatriots, not a luxury yacht subsidy for the ultra-wealthy. Your unfair bill will level crucial services that our fellow Americans who need it most and rely on to live. Consider the warning shot fired by credit-rating juggernaut, Fitch Ratings. They signal a potential downgrade to our cherished 'AAA' debt rating if the debt ceiling doesn't rise, a precipice we're teetering on, which demands immediate legislative action. You may take us for fools, Kevin, but we see past the smoke and mirrors. Come 2024, we'll remember. You can take that to the bank.

NEGOTIATE! That is the problem! This is not something to be NEGOTIATED! This is to pay debt ALREADY INCURRED! There are PROPER ways to negotiate the BUDGET! You know this, but instead, you revert to being #GOPDomesticTerrorists!! THIS IS A CRIME, NOT A NEGOTIATION!

I don’t remember that, Mr. Speaker. What I do recall is that a Republican Congress raised the debt ceiling 3 times under Trump whose admin alone accumulated 25% of the national debt we now face. Pass a clean debt-ceiling bill now.

Enough with the gaslighting, Kevin. Just pay your damn bills.
