You, Mr. Speaker, are more than happy to spend “money we don’t have” as long as it’s on tax cuts for the very wealthy or subsidies for your corporate donors. The only ones you want to pay any sacrifice for your ill begotten notion of “fiscal responsibility” are the poor and disadvantaged.
Just got off the phone with the president while he’s out of the country. My position has not changed. Washington cannot continue to spend money we do not have at the expense of children and grandchildren. Tomorrow, he and I will meet in person to continue negotiations.

You have lost the messaging war on this. The majority of Americans want to see any debt ceiling raise tied to spending cuts. I mean it isn't even close. Republicans passed a spending bill weeks ago. They're not the ones stonewalling.
Replying to @marwilliamson
The debt ceiling is a ruse and those who threaten to NOT lift it are essentially killers.

If you were smarter you’d just call him out for letting radical @RepMTG keep his nuts in a jar when he knows better. Instead, you ignore that while going full AOC.

From our earliest ages we are taught to choose a party and clinch onto it! Donate to it! Rally for it! With venom and hell fire attack and demean anyone who challenges your parties power and dominance! Think about it?

Dems and republicans somehow managed to find money to fund more war

Tax cuts! How about the military industrial complex! No one makes more money for a few elites than that. How do u feel about that Ms Williamson?
