#NBCNews #KevinMcCarthy #DebtCeiling
Not likely as House Republicans are heading to Florida for an extended summer vacation. “School’s out… FOREVER!” 🤬😆
Does he have a black eye?
Idea: Send George Santos back to NYC. That will narrow his “majority” to only 4 votes. Hmmm…wonder if MTG could be sent home too…
Fire Kevin
the Constitution burdons the House of Reps with creating a budget
Kevin McCarthy and his House republicans are failing to do their jobs
Americas only hope is to turn House Leadership over to the Democrats with their budget already in hand ready for pasaage and then sent to the Senate for ratification
republicans can only bring us ruin
The Republicans will ruin the United States just to try to make President Biden look bad , but it will backfire.
Go McCarthy, do not raise the debt ceiling let’s collapse and start over with a different government.
All show. They will kick the can down the road again and pile on more debt. Hypothetically under Under Biden’s budget plan for fiscal 2024, the gross national debt would surge to nearly $51 trillion as of the year 2033 — up from its current level of roughly $31.5 trillion. I won’t see it but a sovereign debt crises is inevitable.
GOD I HOPE SO!!!
Mercy would that give Americans a breath and a sigh of relief. Now lets have someone in the speakership that isn’t lead around by Trump and the crew of 12.
If he wants any approval from the Republican fanatics McCarthy better start cracking heads and I mean they’re Republican extremists heads he better start cracking them together and tell him to knock the crap off
He is threatening to bring down our economy! He should be in chains! Not Leader of the house!
As political operatives go McCarthy is a complete novice the wish list is pure fantasy
The House Republicans has a Budget PIroposal??? Let’s SEE IT!!!
Nobody cares. “Bueller?” Nothing. Zero. Not there.
After 15 votes, I’m not surprised at all—the debt ceiling process is over 100 years old, just pass it bro!!
McCarthy out now!!
The house is in jeopardy with these maga traitors running the halls.
220 hate filled Tucker Carlson like liars want to cripple the US economy for 330 million people for the potential of some rogue political value. They should all suffer Tuckers fate next election.
Ahem, The Insurrectionist Marjorie Trailer Trash Greene, aka Barney Rubble in drag, IS actually the Speaker of the House. Kevin McCarthy is her man servant 🤭🤫🫡
Depends how down and dirty his tea party maga reps want to go. If they had any brains and commitment to their positions they would act like they want to keep their jobs too. I believe there are many ready to vote out the MAGA reps where ever they are. McCarthy should lead for the right thing for America. Not the hype and lies.
McCarthy has weak arguments and is now negotiating with both sides. It probably won’t end well for him in either instance. He didn’t _win_ the speaker’s gavel, he sold his soul for it.
Funny how Republicans always cry wolf, saying everything opposite isle do is politics. But in fact they are the actual shameless ones always doing it.
Everybody is replaceable. Just ask Tucker Carlson. 😂
“Impossible to keep all the cats in the wheelbarrow” LOLOLOLOL!!!
Kevin McCarthy will never be effective.
He doesn’t have a chance: he doesn’t realize what he’s doing. They’ve all become delusional. He doesn’t know they gave him the job, to take it away when he doesn’t “own the libs” enough.
McCarthy is owned by extremists. The Democrats and sane republicans need to elect a unity candidate, otherwise America is doomed
If the Speaker can get the mega conservatives in board…you know it’s a crap plan. They aren’t looking to compromise….they just want power. That goes for both sides. Let’s make it that if a budget isnt passed and the government shuts down, all the elected officials can’t run for re-election
Just cut the wasteful spending!
McCarthy is attempting blackmail by holding us hostage. Raise the debt ceiling now.
cats in the wheelbarrow – tha’t TOO funny😆
McCarthy is hopeless at bringing people together or leading them.
This power hungry lunatic exemplies the GOP inability to provide good governance.
We can give tax cuts to the wealthiest, then point fingers at who added to the debt of our Country! When it comes to regular American citizens they (the suits) who we send to represent “We the People” they say the people are free loaders. Those that serve all of American’s are only serving their own interests and that of corporate greed, what’s wrong with this picture or should I say what’s wrong with the American people?????
Why are we allowing any of these people to play games with our lives or livelihood, this isn’t a game. We probably won’t even do it, however we should get rid of all of those bums (all of them) not some????
Don’t call Maga conservative because they are NOT.
He deserves it. Coward !
McCarthy and GREEN NEED TO GO AWAY FOREVER AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND YOUR CLOWNS IN OFFICE
Is there anyone in the R party that can corral this bunch of lunatics in the house?
Where are the tapes of Jan 6 he gave Tucker the house meeds to demand thos tdpes vome nack in my opinion.
This plx. Is crazy and will hurt the average American Republicians Democratics and Independents in these Republician state Constituents get this Republicans who vote for this bill that in my opinion may hurt you families Elderly a d children
Do you think a republican would do the same, then it would not ever happen, but all that is needed maybe if for you to know.
Havana of omg was not for you.
Instead of exercising leadership and authority, he is just being led by the erratic demands of radical MAGA Representatives.
The USA is broke but Biden wants to extend the debt ceiling so he can spend billions more on his proxy way in Ukraine. He is totally Mad.
Finger’s Crossed !!!!!!!! McCarthy’s SPEAKER SHIP GOES DOWN THE CRAPPER!!!!!
In summary: This bill pleases the crazy right, the likes of Marjorie Greene and Matt Gaetz.
Have to feed the cancer 🙄
Demon rats r throwing a temper tantrum
Pull a polosi and vote together no matter yet
To put it Bluntly the US Government is Bankrupt and the Federal Reserve has pumped an additional $9 trillion dollars into the economy to keep it afloat, the good times are in the rear view mirror and it is only downhill now.
Anti-government Hillbilly Hill will hold US hostage on debt ceiling will not fund border again, not fund small bank regulators, not fund R/R safety, default US but will blame
shut up Kevin you weasel…
All U.S. Veterans need to hear what Speaker McCarthy wants to cut out of the VA budget in this despicable debt ceiling rant. Folks, this covers only the VA. He wants a 22% cutback in Veteran services.
Cut 81,000 veteran health admin jobs.
Reduces funding for rural telehealth. My thoughts. Veterans love this program.
Cut 6,000 benefit jobs – increasing “wait times” for healthcare services. ” This cut WILL hurt veterans badly. These are mostly support staff who schedule vets app. Etc.
Cut 500 jobs from the VA cemetery service and delayed opening five new facilities. ” Some cemetery services still need to catch up. IE shortage in staffing.
Cut food assistance for veterans. ” Due to many veterans injured in the line of duty, they don’t earn much $$ anyway.
Deep cuts to mental health care. ” Veterans are in real need of mental health care. Cutting those jobs will be a disaster for veterans.
Eliminates job training for homeless veterans. ” What job would an Infantryman have once they come home? They need this funding.
This will set the VA back at least 5 or more years compared to current funding levels.
Folks, this is not a party issue. This is a veterans issue. Mr. McCarthy must be made to realize these cuts Will harm all veterans. TY.
I don’t think he going last long he is not fit to be the speaker of the house
“Let us keep borrowing and spending trillions of fiat dollars more or we will have you replaced”….America’s economy is DOOMED.
Looking down the list of names of GOP congress people and senators, never have I used the term, “failed human being” so often. And that’s not even considering the dregs of humanity that failed #45 surrounded himself with.
The retribution party
Let him default ..don’t give in…then vote them all out…
How could any Dumbocrat say anything about spending tax dollars, what idiots!!
I wonder if it will take another 14 rounds to pass that mess of a budget in the GOP and if Democrats will then finally vote a no confidence vote against the Speaker because of his attempt to risk a world economic crash by threatening to block the raising of the U.S. debt limit to push that budget through. How on earth is this allowed???? This is serious stuff; I hope Democrats as usual will correct this madness. McCarthy should be booted out already, but wait, there is no low deep enough for GOP lack of sensible governance.
All you demons in NBC hate good.
McCarthy is good. That is why you hate him.
The destruction of the republican party is working
Gr8 job Kevin 😆 i m peach f joke biden corruption crimes family 😡
Kevin-Peapod for a JOB that he really cannot HANDLE .LIKE Jim Jordan they do not have the EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND to do the JOB /this is the TIME AMERICA’S ELECTED PRESIDENT -JOE BIDEN TO-stepping IN- LIKE HE ALWAYS HAS since he TOOK OFFICE.
Nope!! Trump 2024!!
He’s playing with people’s lives Veterans and senior citizens. He needs to go.
I have concerns. 🚩 🚩 🚩
Republicans: We don’t have a debt problem we have a spending problem. So why cut the income flow. Why give tax cuts to the 1% if that is not a problem? In the real world if you pay out a lot of money, you don’t cut your income just to us break even on your pay out to income. That’s what Republicans have been doing for decades. Cutting the income of the USA by reducing taxes on the 1% and refusing to make all income taxable for Social Security. Taxing all income for Social Security will go a long long way to helping Social Security stay solvent for decades.
Husband: … oh honey we have $2000 left over every month after paying for bills, utilities and other stuff. Let’s get lower paying jobs.
It outta be if it isn’t.
The right question should be how much is the ceiling to be raised and how long will it last, knowing our spendings trajectory.
We are just gonna keep spending till the dollar collapses
The gop has got another man baby leading them.
With zero understanding of our Constitution.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No government recess till the Nation has a budget !
Woke woke woke woke= Main Stream Media.
McCarthy the house “squeaker” ..what a weak backwards organism…
Kevin McCarthy is no good kick them all out what a sad world to have these fool are nothing for the people just their pockets
How About is President Biden and Chuck Schumer going to Come to the table
Line VETO
YOU START THE NUCLEAR WAR AND JESUS THE MASTER OF PUPPETS WILL SEND THAT NUCLEAR WAR HEAD TO YOUR HIDING BUNKER TO BURNING FURNACE ETERNALLY 😮😮 THINK MY BOY 😂
McCarthy is the greatest Speaker of the House that we’ve had for many years, in my opinion . Of course, most Dems do not have a clue as to what is going on. They blindly follow their incompetent leaders in the White House and Senate.
Why didn’t they vote nay on trumps debt ceiling increases ??? And where did the money go? To the insurrection??
He agreed to a one vote vote of confidence. One republican can vote him out of SOH. The freedom caucas is 22 member strong and if McCarthy budges on one demand, he’s out.
We’re gonna default. And the Federal Reserve gets to blame the politicians instead of the other way around.
We’re bankrupt anyways, war is coming
His stupidity was in jeopardy decades ago😅😅
Maybe Kev could work on FOX😅😅
Put Kev on Supreme Court😅😅😅
McCarthy is only a Maga puppet.
THERES A MOVIE THAT ONE CAN LOOK TO….WHEN TALKING ABOUT KEVY MCCARTHYS TIME AS SPEAKER……..’DEAD MAN WALKING”……AND WHEN HE FAILS TO PASS A GOOD BUDGET…..HE’ LL BE ” TUCKERED ”’ ! LOL
Nope.
It would be nice if the people in the DC bubble would actually represent the people of the country instead of mega donors and lobbyists
It won’t pass the Senate. and it won’t be signed. They don’t have the votes to go further.
Waste of time for the GOP Fascists party.
I actually can’t wait for this government to become obsolete. if failed in 1871. you just haven’t recognized it yet. the dollar died two weeks ago outside the US.
I hope Republicans will pass the bill. If people squeak about the debt ceiling, it is on the Dems’ shoulder. Biden doesn’t even want to negotiate with McCarthy’s offer. There are many stupid things in the bills that Dems like, they need to be cut. We a s taxpayers can not print money just because we ran out of our budget but for some reason Dems think they can. It is because socialists have no problem spending someone else’s money, but they would scream if they have to spend any of theirs.
NBC lies about everything Republicans.
That money is spent already all because of war and issue abroad not one have to do with our Nation. Help Americans in our country
If the Republicans fail to meet a Dept Ceiling they will then be the focus of this recession . Right now many blame President Biden but if the Goverment shuts down it will in my opinion put us into a depression. The Republicans will give cover to the Democrats and many will blame them for the disaster of a Goverment close down will create .This will be a punishing for us the people but a gift to the Democrats in my openion.
McCarthy’s Job is plenty secure.
NOOOOOO INCREASE IN DEBT CEILING….When will government learn how to manage money without borrowing……Seems we don’t have any body in government that can handle money responsibly…..
It’s time to stop the borrowing………….
This headline looks stupid now.
Jail the insurrectionist republicans!
I wouldn’t say he won the speaker’s gavel. It was more like sold his spineless soul.
Pay America ‘s bill. You are not doing your job.
