[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line is McCarthy doesn’t have the votes to broker a deal with Biden and save his Speakership. GOP is going to take the country over the fiscal cliff and blame the White House. And since Biden has long lost his ability to think clearly and speak coherently, the GOP may actually pull it off.[/quote] Or, if Biden refuses to negotiate and make meaningful concessions, we will go over the fiscal cliff. That's the way i see it.[/quote] What meaningful concessions is McCarthy offering?[/quote] He's taken everything except discretionary spending off the table for starters. How about we go back to the spending budget of 2018? He isn't even pushing that hard.[/quote] So he’s offered nothing then? [/quote] That is the offer. There's a 1.5T spending cut bill on the table. If you don't like it, don't agree to it. Don't care. Let's Thelma and Louise this.[/quote] So McCarthy is just threatening to crash the economy and hurt tens of millions of Americans unless he gets what he wants, and he won’t give up a single thing to get it. Got it.[/quote] Kinda sounds like Biden has the same position. Wait until interest on the debt can't be paid. That will hurt America too. You seem to have no concept of reasonable government spending and want a womb to tomb welfare state. Well, the math says no.[/quote] But Congress, a duly elected representative body, already debated and decided on what programs expenses to keep. The time to debate the costs of government is during the budget negotiations--not now.[/quote] You mean like using covid funds to pay for housing for the migrants? I think not. Turning the border patrol in to baby sitters? I think not. Calling a new green deal spending bill an inflation reduction act? I think not[/quote]
