Years in the Senate, that has more enraged leadership than that moment of objecting, and we that moment of objecting- and we are right back there again. This is all because Chuck Schumer is playing political games right now. The Democrats have both houses of Congress and the White House. They can raise the debt ceiling, but Chuck Schumer doesnt want to, because if they raise it with just Democrat votes than they actually have to be honest to the voters and say we are adding trillions in debt to her kids and grandkids. Instead, they want to play a game that forces Republicans to support their massive debt and their reckless spending. Chuck Schumer is the one threatening default of debts. Biden is the one threatening default of debts that is reckless. We should never ever ever default on the debt and by the way, for years I have supported legislation called the full faith and credit act of that would say under no faith and circumstances with the United States ever default on
its debts. If the debt ceiling is a race, we will continue to pay the interest on our debt and it will be the big government left wing spending programs cut instead.
