The Republican party creates this mess every time there is a President of the United States that is from the Democratic party. Look it up going back to mid-1990's when the repubs got control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The democratic led U.S. House (Nancy Pelosi as Speaker) did their constitutional order (14th Amendment which states that the debt of the country SHALL NOT BE QUESTIONED) and took care of the so called debt ceiling for Trump without making all the drama that current house speaker Kevin McCarthy (Republican-California) is doing right now.
The Constitution 14th Amendment states . . .
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
Apparently, the republicans DO NOT understand this. It is ordered by the U.S. Constitution for the Congress and Executive Branch to do just that. Pay the bills without question.
WITHOUT QUESTION.
In fact, President Biden called the republicans out in front of millions of people during the State of the Union address three months ago. No touching Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare as far as cuts go. They all agreed . . . So this is all on McCarthy and the republicans regarding the so called debt ceiling.
The media in this country doesn't help out either. The corporate controlled media keeps on pounding the drum over and over again that it is a 'debt ceiling crisis.'
It isn't.
It's a republican created scam that sets out to further screw over 99 percent of Americans while giving more and more to the richest people and the corporations.
President Biden and democrats in Congress as well as the media need to call them out on their bullshit and end this charade once and for all.
The U.S. Constitution demands it.
