[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes two to tango. Democrats are going to have to accept significant compromises. Not sure why they act as if it is their way or the door. They don't hold Congress. Republicans do. Isn't that the whole point of a divided government? [/quote]

Why do they need to accept anything?  They aren't the ones manufacturing this crisis.[/quote]

May I ask why you think the Republicans are manufacturing the crisis when it's just as much the Democrats manufacturing the crisis by refusing the cut spending? Remember, it takes two to tango. Politics does not mean Democrats do whatever they want and the Republicans shut up and keep quiet. At least, in theory. [/quote]

The debt ceiling - manufactured crises - has nothing to do with cutting spending. That happens in the next budget round. The current situation is about paying service on debt that the country has already amassed, much of it during the 2017-2020 cycle when the GOP exploded the deficit by 8 trillion dollars without having a mechanism to pay for it. So yes, the GOP has absolutely manufactured this situation.[/quote]
