[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kevin McCarthy made a secret deal with Chip Roy-led branch of the Freedom Caucus to get their votes for Speaker. Congress won't raise the debt ceiling and then will dictate what government programs won't get funded. For example, Congress will still allow interest payments, social security, Medicare, the VA and the military to be funded. But then cut funding for, I don't know, school lunches, or the DOJ, or National Parks - whatever offends their delicate sensibilities - so the debt limit isn't breached. The stupid hurts. https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2023/01/13/debt-ceiling-gop-plan/[/quote] They want to pretend it is a budget, appropriations, and taxes vote. It isn’t. It is a pay your bills vote. Debate the budget and appropriations and taxes in the budget, appropriations, and tax bills. [/quote]
