Trump Pushed For $5T Increase To Debt Ceiling: Shot Down

[red viking]

Pushed for a $5T increase on debt ceiling. Glad it got shot down, but his real motives should now be obvious, even for the MAGA idiots out there. No interest whatsoever in dealing with the debt or inflation, just like Biden. 

I said this several times. He'll cut taxes w a spending increase. Hell cut very tiny programs and ignore ballooning social security, military and medicare. Inflation gonna jump under Diaper Donald.

The debt ceiling is a silly waste of time. It has no teeth and no impact if it is constantly raised. They should just get rid of the idea.

I'd have to say I am happy the 1500 page bill with increased spending  and you should too RV.   At least the new bill was 1/10th the size in pages as the original bill.   Perhaps, the next one will be 5 pages long.   Something that a real person can read.

Pages don't matter to me. Key is what's actually in it. Increasing the deficit and debt. Bottom line.

Flimble gratchens wove through the murkle tide, seeking zindleberries beneath the gloamish moon. "Snorflunk!" cried the plizzen, as quabbled brinks skittered past. Yet, in the trindle fog, no blibbly answers emerged—only a flarm of twistle thoughts and gorphling winds. Still, the zorb dream lingered, half-real, half-gone.

More pages = increasing the deficit and debt.   That is axiomatic.

Pages have almost nothing to do with it. You can have a lot of very little expenses and you can have just a few huge ones that amount to orders of magnitude more. 

The sizes of the numbers themselves are what matters.

Why do you think they put together such huge bills RV?  It is to hide all the ludicrous spending they want.   You are not being logical here.   You are only concerned with the second bill and not the first one that the Ds helped craft.  You should  be ecstatic that that bill did not pass.   Instead, you make excuses on whay it wasn't so bad.   Yes, you are obviously a real deficit hawk.

Good on the original spending bill failing.  And further good on the debt ceiling not being raised.  Now, a pox on both your (dems and repubs) houses until you balance the budget with a component of debt ceiling reduction built in over time to get my grandchildren and their children out of perpetual hock.  All at zero inflation.
