    Who knew that making an actual budget was so hard?

    I think you are confused about who the progressives are. They're pissed and blaming Biden.

    The Debt Ceiling is Scarier This Time

    MAGA asshole Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) gave the game away this morning. He thinks it's ridiculous that they can't simply declare the budget to be cut, and is apparently angry that it is taking so long. He declared that avoiding default was 100% the responsibility of President Biden. Hello 14th...

    What's the chances that the Republican House caucus could get a night or two in the slammer? Be a great chance for them to think it over. Maybe rethink a couple of things, like spending more on prisons than on schools...

    The Debt Ceiling is Scarier This Time

    I think a bill acceptable to all Democrats, minus a dozen or so, -might- just possibly -maybe- garner 25~ish Repub votes. Any bill that is acceptable to more than a slim minority of Repubs is going to be completely unacceptable to any Democrat. My understanding is that outside the demand for...

    I actually know somebody with a house in that area. Perhaps I should go vandalize the construction site for them. Make it expensive enough, and they give up. This was actually a hobby of mine as a teenager, when developers kept bulldozing my favorite woods.

    It's only a problem if it makes you late for work.

    And blowing up infrastructure that US contractors can charge cost-plus to rebuild, don't forget that part.

    So why are Republicans only "serious" about addressing spending when they think they can embarass a President from the Democratic Party?

    The Senate cannot initiate fiscal bills, but a clean debt limit bill on the Senate floor and Hakeem shopping for a dozen half-sane Repubs to pull out from under McQarthy's "ransom note" bill, would give Speaker McQarthy some motivation to actually negotiate. WTF do these people spend their time...

    That will never happen. The average Republican is totally on board with destroying America, if it makes the libtards angry. I think it's more likely that when the negotiating tactic fails, the megarich donors will yank MQarthy's chain and say "Dude WTF, you're not supposed to actually pull the...

    They do have a winning hand. Remember, for them, "WINNING" is about destroying the USA.

    The Debt Ceiling is Scarier This Time

    USAnians are mostly fat and spoiled. Translate this to budgeting: undisciplined spending, lax about income. On a household scale this is difficult, on a national scale it's a slow-motion disaster. The news wants to blame "both sides" but the fiscal reality is a thing. It's a group of hard...

    Of course. Democrats are responsible for running the gov't, Republicans are only supposed to bitch about it, and obstruct it (when they can take the time away from their otherwise-busy schedules) except for the Insurrectionist wing, they are responsible for destroying the gov't (while...

    Cue the RWNJ spew that ALL MEDIA LIES followed shortly by screeching about the terrible very-bad no-good horrible libby-rull bias in news media.
