oh no the party of fiscal responsibility will have to be fiscally responsible
Just until March 14th. Then they will vote for whatever they want.
Considering there's a fair number of R's who are anti raising no matter who, that one might be rough without gimmes for Dems, which might be a dealbreaker for even more R's. Wouldn't be surprised to see another big shutdown.
You're mistaken. They wanted to get rid of the debt ceiling so they could be even more irresponsible.
that's what Stern said? They didn't get that opportunity.
No they didn't? They said the republicans would have to be fiscally responsible. I'm saying they're still not going to be fiscally responsible, they wanted rid of the ceiling so they could be even more fiscally irresponsible.
You’re missing the sarcasm where the party that says they are the fiscally responsible ones won’t get their way of being extremely fiscally irresponsible.
In other words, GOP = pure lies
Gaslight Obstruct Project - as per standard procedure.
And most importantly, musk wanted to do that while Biden is still in office so they could blame the Democrats for it later

It's only delayed. Just wait for the cluster fuck.
