As we move into June and there's still no progress, we're going to see a stock market crash and the republicans will finally get religion. |
Yup. That stunt McCarthy pulled trying to sell this to Wall Street made me laugh pretty hard. I would love to have been a fly on the wall that day. |
Only after it happens. Wait till the social security checks do not go out. Biden and the senate do not have to do jacksh#t. Just let the republicans do their thing. |
Everyone in the world disagrees with them. They even know that they're pushing a lie. |
Yes, just say, "Sorry folks. Those checks will come as soon as Republicans pass a clean debt resolution, as they have done for the last 100 years." |
I guess not. |
Nope. Hedge funds be hedging. They know full well there is a TON of money to be made vulturing in on the turmoil of a crash, buying up distressed assets at pennies on the dollar. So too do CEOs and Board members who have tons of cash to spend in their personal accounts. There are enough Elon Musks out there who see this as an opportunity, and they're not interested in anyone wasting it. |
Yes, the republicans in Congress usually succeed in #$&*ing things up for as long as I have been alive. |
Are you implying the politicians who will let it happen are on the take from these guys? You’d probably be right. |
If anything happens, Biden as President will get the blame. So it's in the interest of the House to drive a default and let the impact rain down on Biden/Harris's heads. |
You need enough uncompromised Dems to join enough Main Street and ethical GOPers to raise the debt ceiling. |
The many shutdown battles where the Rs in Congress got the blame would indicate otherwise. |
Lol sure. Republicans = shutdown the government, destroy the government and the coup party. The dems should make the default happen. Even maga will blame the republicans. |
Correct, and they don't care about the deficit either. |
