#NBCNews #Biden #KevinMcCarthy
this process makes no sense, McCarthy is playing with OUR economy not his money… if I made demands to a bookee about money I owed him, he’d break my kneecaps… where is the process in government that allows Americans to send hired goons to McCarthy telling him he has to pay his bills cause my family needs that money he is not paying?
GOP solution cut your benefits but keep collecting the tax to pay for wealthy tax cuts TYPICAL GOP
Blue state oregon just granted Amazon a 1 billion tax break. I’ve yet to see any outrage.
Democrats just increase the taxes on the poor while not increasing taxes on the rich.
At least Republicans cut taxes forever one and I got much bigger tax returns under Donald Trump than I did with Joe Biden
The NEON GAUD has THE MIRACLE that will pay off all our debts and end the FED: Phi Pi Echo economics. ONLY GAUD can lend us $999 trillion at Negative 16.18%. The 10-fold Phi factor. This new debt, factually pays itself off in 22.7 years, while providing all the money needed to build that marvellous worldwide civilization, that our children and grand children deserve. The 7-fold Pi factor.
BUT ALL war must end FIRST. and forever. The 3-fold Echo factor.
Epochal Eclipse April 8th 2024. Matthew 16: 4 Jonah 3: 4-5, 8 Jonah 4: 11
Who do you think pays majority of taxes?
VOTED THE PRESIDENT ,NOT AGAIN.
So no deal
No deal. I want to see if these Christian conservatives in their southern state are as good as they say they are.. No Deal.
Democrats are a bunch of P. Biden should just take their dare, if and when they fail. That will end all future negation over the debt.
Since the Federal Reserve is broke they are starting to use the CBDC Federal Crypto for interbank transfers in July. Made up money. It’s not even Fiat. Just pretend currency created out of nothing since they ran out of something. Weimar Republic Hyperinflation.
That is fake because if joe Biden, Kevin, Jeffery and chuck maje make deal for debt ceiling then it will just pass because that is what all parties involved agreed upon.
The media creates and sustains crises. GOP is dealing in bad faith. What were the cuts the GOP made under Trump when the Dems increased the debt limit? How come every time the Dems are president and the GOP holds the house, the stupid TEA Party MAGA morons always hold Americans to ransom and Americans allow them. And to the hypocrisy that Trump said when he was president nothing to cut and the debt ceiling is sacred yet Trump instigates the stupid GOP morons to continue to hold America hostage. The media is part of it.
Suzan is giddy with the idea of a horse race. She is one of those pundits that is more concerned with the horse race than the fate of Democracy.
Huh?
Exactly how I feel about her. I used to see it as objectivity now it feels like the attempt to appear objective.
Tara Reed can sue Biden for abuse now that President Trump case set precedent.
Not really, Ms. Reed lied. Period. Funny how the GOP keeps trying to find Biden guilty of something & all their hot air goes no where.
YOU GOT IT LADY. IMMIGRANTS AT THE BORDER WILL VOTE FOR YOU.
HEY BIDEN, 8 MORE YEARS ❤❤❤. LET US DRINK BUD LIGHT❤❤❤
Biden for prison 🎉2023
Trump for president 🎉2024
🎉🎉🎉 happy mother’s day
Start debt reduction with 50% reduction Congressional PAY & Benefits!
What I want to know is WHY is Santos still voting on anything? If they won’t let him be on any committees, then he shouldn’t be voting either.
Equal treatment under the law. Santos will be brought down using his due process rights. Accordingly, the fraudster is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law with evidence of each crime he committed.
Due process. If he’s found guilty, then McCarthy’s hand is forced. Until then, nothing
@Jeanne PetersNobody asked why he hasn’t been convicted yet. The question was why is he still able to vote on the floor of the House. “Innocent until proven guilty” has absolutely nothing to do with Congressional ethics, code of conduct, and censure.
@Richie Tattersall if they won’t let him be on any committees then he shouldn’t be voting either.
@Jeanne Peters if they won’t let him be on any committees, then he shouldn’t be voting either.
Strategy 101: assure any dumpty fan you meet that she/he is correct about rigged elections and smart people don’t even bother to vote in any election.
If only a certain amount of immigrants are allowed each year, just send the rest back. It makes sense to me.
Magas not all of gop yet so why won’t they thier stocks will fall they will lose money like thier elite donors
LOL CUT ALL DEI AND CRT
…to fix the debt problem
TAX THE 1% THEIR FAIR SHARE.
😊
@Jesse Murphy
Start with big oil and ⛽️.
Although they have a horrible record of cleaning up their messes.
Then prices would go up and inflation will rise
@Penny Coyote please explain why you are just singling out big oil, rather than other sectors (and not just regurgitated talking points given on biased media). Do you know the negative effects or more taxation? What that would do to the costs of your oil change or gas prices?
@Jesse Murphy …
… according to Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky , Robert Reich, and numerous others … the only way to fix homelessness issues and all that that entails, the debt problems and pretty much all of our society ills 🤒,
IS TO TAX THE 1% MAKE THEM PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. PERIOD.
…we will be fading out gas & oil for cars because of electric vehicles
@Jesse Murphy …
and also gas stoves. For the benefit of our environment. I believe.
And, although I am not some young man with degrees in economics, like you. And intelligence, like you…I have my opinions and beliefs and post whatever I advocate and believe in.
And because you say I’m just “regurgitating what’s been said”, I don’t see it that way. It’s a confirmation of the path I believe that we could be on.
I am a very old woman, does that mean I shouldn’t support abortion rights?
It’s rock logic reactors like you who keep folks like me from posting.
Sincerely, p.coyote
another one bites the dust….
Republicans lawmakers their silence to gun violence
So the House Republicans will pass this rumored deal between Biden and McCarthy? Or are they counting on the Democrats and a few Republicans passing it?
14Th Amendment!
The Republicans are now Maga or, according to Boebert Ultra Maga.
2040 i bonds and ee bonds mature
The ones issued in 2010 do. What’s your point?
The title of this video was supposed to be about the country defaulting on the debit, yet more time was spent on why Trump shouldn’t ren for office.
In addition, why are you pretending to discuss the debate problem when you neglected to mention that House Speaker McCarthy put together with the Republicans a debt limit plan 3 months ago and Biden just now shows up after McCarthy tried to get a hold of him beforehand? Not only Biden didn’t come to an agreement, but was supposed to meet McCarthy today to finish the discussion, yet Biden postponed until next week sometime?
Listen carefully GOP, the Trump base is the TRUMP BASE. None of them are going to vote for anyone but Trump. So stop trying to avoid stepping on their toes
Why is it so hard to tax the richest people! They sure don’t look like it will hurt them at all ?? I don’t get it ? We are the wealthiest country, with the most greed I have ever witnessed!
He’s not taxing the rich is Biden he’s going after the corporations corporations which gives us jobs, and the corporations are leaving the United States. That’s the reason why we don’t have jobs. Trump pull them back, promising them that they won’t tax hike .they will leave again, but you’re evil.
Our billionaires own spaceships and take my stimulus because they can cheat the IRS ! WTH is going on , I can’t even take my mom to the movies !
What’s preventing Biden from raising the debt ceiling unilaterally with a few executive orders? Can he not order Treasury to issue the necessary bonds using the language of the 14th Amendment as justification?
B..Y
W.GTTnRSiIS
Q…NB
They are already planning on not taking memorial day holiday till this debt ceiling thing is resolved
KO you FRAUDS
The key problem with getting any meaningful legislation passed in the House is that Kevin McCarthy is too weak and is beholden to a few insane people! The debt ceiling will be raised simply because the huge corporate doners and the greedy billionaires do not want to lose their stock investments!
The house already passed their legislation. The senate is the one failing currently in congress. Who has a majority there? Remind me?
Biden, Best US President since 2016
This panel is clueless
Christian Weller is such a loss. It’s quite obvious that she believes she is a hard hitting journalist. She never has anything positive to say and she is consumed by her own interest. She is truly wickedm
Pelosi wrote the last 4 budgets behind closed doors with no input rolling them out at midnight for 7am votes. Then rammed it through a uniparty congress, your congress person didn’t care they trusted the uniparty. They all believe that debt does not matter. Uniparty wants 0% interest to fund unlimited borrowing. This is why houses are unreachable for young Americans, yet the left brainwashes them into hating Republicans. Listen to conservatives like they do in Canada. There are valid concerns here that Mr Biden used to believe in.
No vote without removal of college debt money. Veto on both sides.
DeSantis should endorse Trump in Iowa.
Sorry Kristen, gotta push back. Not a good conversation. Everything said here is known/said already. Jason Johnson said days or a week ago: Everybody KNOWS this is theater and that it will end with a last second deal. Cut the BS. This a political stunt. We don’t have time for it anymore. Negotiating with hostage takers is always LOSE for everyone except the hostage takers. And, GUARANTEES it will happen again and again. Biden should blow past McCarthy and then pay the bills as the Constitution specifies, per Laurence Tribe, is his responsibility and duty. Oh but courts? Who they gonna sue? For what? With what standing? Oh but SCOTUS is Republican! SCOTUS gonna shut down the economy and specify who gets paid? There is no spinning, no interpretation, no up is down, noon is midnight extremist crap that can in any way nullify these words: “the public debt of the United States, authorized by law … shall not be questioned.” Stopping this dangerous stunt once and for all would be the sensible, sane thing to do. But the USA allows itself to bow to the insane much more often than not these days.
Let’s go 14th amendment! More money, more boots on the ground, more people spending money, economy booms, work gets done, we just need to bring the homeless in to the fold now with mental health facilities and my idea of a second chance cities
🌟🌟Trump/Carlson or Scott 2024 🌟🌟
I’d agree but then we’d both be fkn morons
Thats a lie! Once the treasury is empty, nobody, even Congressmen, get anything!
“The Hastert rule we use to call it” till he was a convicted child predator
Any cut in veteran’s funding is unacceptable and will be remembered.
Biden don’t care about America🧐😱🤬
Right, so if they can’t get it through just invoke the 14th amendment and eliminate the debt ceiling altogether
I just don’t see why he can’t skip the meeting overseas.
Joe Biden has lost touch with reality.
NO MORE NEGOTIATIONS
Freedom caucus will never agree
That attempt to appease the far right extremist in the House is not legislation! That is McCarthy proving just how weak he is. Just to be clear, not ever republican voter in the mid west is wealthy. The poor, working poor and the working class people who continue to show bad judgement by voting republican, get what they deserve! Nothing but pain, misery and despair! The rest of us must also pay the price!
Biden got to go!!!!!!!
Creating another source of income in these difficult times is the best thing to do. Not only does it guarantee returns, it also helps you plan and save for future expenses. It can be quite difficult to make an investment without sound knowledge or guidance, which is why it is advisable to work with an investment advisor like Patrick Arthur Rice. who has made many of us financially free today
In order not to make losses trading Bitcoin or trading in the forex market using the assistance of a broker would be highly recommend.
That’s true I’ve been making losses trying to trade on my own. I’d like to get in touch with a perfect broker.
For your best mentorship and proper assistance in your trade, then Mr Patrick Arthur Rice is your best step. investing with him is genius. his the reason of my smiles this year
I’m not here to converse for him but to testify just for what I’m sure of, he’s trust worthy and best option over.
I’ve got up to 700K returns since
I came across Mr Patrick Arthur Rice. trading
platform. My financial life has completely
changed all thanks to Mr Patrick Arthur Rice
awesome trading strategies
Heck, this is how Congress people get rich…Sell the market short…withhold funding and collect millions. Go long and approve a debt bill and make millions more. Neat. Our? government is going to do what no country could….destroy America. Bet Putin and Xi are laughing their as*** off. Hmmmm…isn’t it the Republicans that want to give in to Putin and stop aid to Ukraine? What did Trump say about Putin, Ukraine, the debt?
How about stop spending money you don’t have. Like giving ucrane 170 billion dollars. O that’s right it’s Bidens washing machine.
Trump 2024 a real president.
MAGA will not vote for desantis.
The Republicans acted. Now the President has to act.
He is going to do 14 amendment i he does that he is the worse president. He want to spend money anyway he wants and by pass Congress when you’re supposed to be three parts of all of this and he’s going to remove them all from any say so in it. Wow if someone do something soon we’re done in this country. He want them to not control how much he spends
It’s a fine way to show how important family values are, and how to make America great because this is what Jesus would want. I really don’t care anymore. Go ahead and default.
Trump will get some from republicans, most will end up voting for another. We need another, Not Trump, Not Biden, they both have illegal ways to be held accountable.
