Do you have an extra $800 lying around? That's how much more you owe as your share of the national debt since January 12th—when I first called on President Biden to negotiate. His delay has real consequences. His default would be even worse.

I didn't have the huge extra share lying around that was added under Trump. $800 is nothing compared to that. Ignoring the 7.8 trillion added during the last administration and voting 3 times to suspend the debt, not raise it with a limit is a reflection of how unserious you really are. You also don't call on anyone to negotiate when you don't have a budget to negotiate with. Biden released his budget March 9th and you still had nothing. You never had the intention to negotiate in good faith even after you passed your partisan bill that you knew had zero chance of passing the Senate.

Reckless spending? Who did that? Cutting revenue so earmarked spending went over dwindling revenue, due to tax cuts for the wealthy donors, lobbyists, etc…? Please STOP 🛑 the hypocrisy and not blame others, when you should take out the mote in ur eyes first! Remember the Bible? You r a Christian right? Who blew up the deficit? Trump & GOP Congress! Of course it’s a revenue problem Mr. Speaker! Do you know how much Revenue America loses each year due to the reckless tax cuts for the rich donors & lobbyists you & GOP & Trump signed off on? Democrats will not give into your tax cuts for the rich addiction! If You & your GOP freedom caucus don’t recognize the need for revenue over expenses budget & income & cash flow aspects you are not fit to serve the people in the House?! Trump & GOP tax cuts and excess spending during those reckless 4 years is what caused the crisis we are in!?

Apparently you have an extra $30,000 a year for members of Congress. Please stop with the hypocrisy.

America Polls are saying as of this morning that 83% of taxpayers believe Biden mismanaged the economy. You have 8 out of ten Americans that support you.. Don't get along to get along... With this kind of support, you're in the driver's seat to repair our fragile economy

We could borrow the money from our rich uncle who wouldn't require us to pay him back, The Federal Reserve. And, if the money borrowed was used to only pay off govt debt, it wouldn't be inflationary.

Now tell us how much Donald Trump added to that debt @SpeakerMcCarthy as you ascribe indebtedness to Americans who had nothing to do with his big tax cut to the already wealthy and received no benefit from it!
