97 days ago, I met with President Biden to discuss how he can avoid defaulting on our national debt. For 97 days, he has ignored the crisis. House Republicans are the only ones in Washington who have passed a responsible debt limit increase that avoids default. Today is a new opportunity for Democrats to find common ground and act responsibly for future generations.

Do not cave. Also, stop supporting the war in Ukraine.

According to Sleepy Joe, you are giving in to their demands. I would urge you not to do so and only spend money earned, not printed nor borrowed #TheUsShouldSetAnExampleOnHowToBeResponsableWithMoney #NoWonderThePetroDollarGoesAway

People, let’s be realistic here Va, SS, Medicare, food programs will continue! Do not Fall for the Lies! What Must be done is the Same Thing Every American Faces (except the Rich) is our Government Must Stop the wasteful Spending, and Live Within the means of its Income! We Cannot Continue To Borrow Money!!! We Cannot continue to allow our Governments to keep getting Larger! We all have had to make sacrifices, choose what we buy, and it’s Irresponsible for our Government to keep spending like it won the damn lottery! Look back before Covid many states were nearly Bankrupt! They received billions, and Some are nearly Broke Again! Our Banks do Not Allow Us to keep Borrowing Money, We Have Limits, it’s Damn time our Government Does too!

Do not raise the debt ceiling until Biden finishes the wall and puts an end to immigration through Mexico!

Let’s end the Republican Democrat BS. We all know you are a uni-party. Drop the semantics. Do a good job for us and we might re-elect you. If you cant stop the debt ceiling from being raised and risking the value of our currency, you will be fired. Citizen Election Information: Kevin McCarthy is up for re-election Nov 2024 in California’s 20th District.

I told my wife I will not pay our credit card bill due tomorrow unless she promises to stop spending. @SpeakerMcCarthy is doing the same with the national bills...

Civics 101. Congress controls the purse. Any default in paying the nation's bills is squarely the fault of the House and you the leader. You can't pass the buck here or reframe the blame.
