Vice President Joe Biden once negotiated with Republican leadership to pass the Budget Control Act. He needs to do the same to pass a deal with Leader McCarthy.
@SenTedCruz Biden will do what’s best for regular Americans. Republicans will do what’s best for the mega-wealthy and huge corporations by pushing for giant tax breaks. GOP would cut veterans’ benefits by around 20%, but are happy to increase spending on military weapons.
@SenTedCruz I actually think you are correct, however I can see the amount of global risk is different than it is now. A solution is something that they are definitely working on, however I can see the problem being too difficult to solve. You almost need to wait out the storm.
NOPE, you are WRONG👆, Ted! The debt ceiling is simply about settling the tab for money that's already been spent. Imagine trying to lower your costs by telling your credit card company that you won't pay your bill until you reduce your spending. What would happen? They'd shut down your account and wreck your credit score. Moreover, your analogy isn't accurate, and you're aware of it. During the Budget Control Act discussions, Biden worked with Republican leaders to lower the federal deficit by setting caps on optional spending. This was a completely different matter from the debt ceiling. There are appropriate moments to discuss and agree on spending, and there are moments to just pay up. As was done three times during Trump's term, without any objections. Try again.
@SenTedCruz The only act Sen. @tedcruz can pass is gas.
@SenTedCruz So the gop can give tax breaks to the wealthy on June 15?
@SenTedCruz Biden and McCarthy need to work out a budget, yes, BUT without your party holding hostage what is owed! Biden is willing to negotiate of course for spending cuts now and future, but NOT passed debt and the interest owed. You are awful!! Your party is making Americans sick!!!
@SenTedCruz We are the ones you should be dealing with. We are the ones that pay the taxes. If you would stop protecting the ultra wealthy and big corporations from paying their fair share in taxes, this country would be fine.
My question is this.. Why are we worrying about a default in the FIRST place? Not that we don't need to, but we shouldn't need to ultimately. Y'all need to be held to the same standards the Citizens generally are. No money? No pay? No more. We get cut off. What the HELL makes them think they're special?
@SenTedCruz You should be in prison traitor.
