“$40 trillion in debt, seems to me, should get our attention,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Wednesday morning, noting that reducing the deficit used to be a “primary reason” Republicans used the reconciliation process to skirt the Senate filibuster. “But we seem to be a little distracted by other issues at the moment.”

Thune said this week that the debt ceiling is “something that a lot of people are looking to address,” noting that Republicans could increase the borrowing limit between the lame-duck session after the November election but before the new Congress is seated.

“There’s always a possibility, obviously, post-November to do something,” Thune said, adding that Republicans could “conceivably” pass another party-line package at that time.

The federal government is set to reach the borrowing limit Congress set in last year’s GOP megabill sometime in the first half of next year. But the Treasury Department would be able to employ special accounting maneuvers that would let the federal government keep paying its obligations for at least a few more months.

Please. Please more. I want this country to remember they elected Republicans to control all three branches, in part to prevent this exact thing, and this is the end result.

Let us have an example to stop these retards from ever getting power again, at least for a decade or two.

>>1526534
When the Left is in control it’s no better…

>>1526575
Left never got us into a retarded war that's threatening to empty our entire oil reserve buffer while simultaneously asking for a record military budget to keep said retarded war going.

>>1526584
ya the left invited them into the country to commit subterfurge and gaslit people into pretending it never happened.
you literally surrendered to terrorism.

>>1526584
they did, they elected a black man and ruined america
libs deserve everything they get just for that
they don't even let billionaires rape kids either, thats another execution for all leftists

>>1526531
Trumps policies won’t take effect and bring down the debt until 2028. This is obviously Biden’s economy

This coming from the party, (Republicans), who elected an agent of Russia (Trump) and has openly conspired with them on top of defending Putin for helping to kill and arm US troops over Iran.

>>1526584
That was Biden with the Ukraine vs Russia thing that Victoria Nuland started.

>>1526534
Conservatives don't have the IQ for learning lessons, it's why none of them go to college.

>>1526665
First, that last one was clearly making fun of the first two.

Second, Trump literally negotiated our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan with the taliban, not the Afghani government, undoing all of our efforts to instil managed democracy when they fucking slaughtered the government we'd been trying to install for decades as we were practically warming up the engines on the runway.

So when the second one there talks about 'literally surrendering to terrorists, they're supporting literally (Not figuratively) the only president to do so.

Literally every right wing accusation is a confession.

>>1526670
Who misled you into thinking this?

>>1526687
Not him but I can speak for everyone here who is tired of your sea lion ass pretending to not remember the events of the last 10 years at the same time as pretending to not know how to use google, especially when you know damn well shit like this exists:

wikipedia has a heavy leftist bias since the 2010s. you'd know that if you weren't intellectually deaf or a cretin.

Reaganomics actually works for awhile. When you're broke and your dad gives you a new credit card with no limit, and you never have to pay it off, it works.

>reality has a heavy leftist bias since forever, you'd know that if you weren't intellectually deaf or a cretin

>>1526761
wikipedia has a heavy high IQ bias yes.
