Well, there you have it. The debt ceiling bill has been passed by both the House and the Senate and now we have no debt limit until January 2025. That means that Joe Biden can give Ukraine all the money that he wants. It means that they can continue to fund the 87,000 weaponized IRS agents to steal our money.
The Senate on Thursday night approved the debt ceiling bill “negotiated” by Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Joe Biden.
The vote tally was 63-36.
This is exactly why so many Republicans held out on voting for McCarthy. He’s a RINO and they knew that he would go and do something stupid like this and draw up a ridiculous bill that might as well have been drafted up by the Democrats.
Most of the Republicans did the right thing and voted against the bill, but there were 17 sellout Republicans who went along with it. Here are the names of the individuals:
John Boozman
Shelley Capito
Susan Collins
John Cornyn
Kevin Cramer
Joni Ernst
Chuck Grassley
John Hoeven
Mitch McConnell
Jerry Moran
Markwayne Mullin
Lisa Murkowski
Mitt Romney
Mike Rounds
John Thune
Thom Tillis
Todd Young
Most of these come as no surprise to be quite honest. Susan Collins, John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney…I mean, it’s quite obvious that this entire bill was a RINO bill.
Nancy Mace’s tweet about this was perfect.
Washington is broken.
Republicans got outsmarted by a President who can’t find his pants.
I’m voting NO on the debt ceiling debacle because playing the DC game isn’t worth selling out our kids and grandkids.
“This “deal” normalizes record high spending started during the pandemic. It sets these historically high spending levels as the baseline for all future spending. The bill then grows govt even more each year at about ~1%.
This deal keeps that record high spending intact and makes it the baseline for all spending
The bill doesn’t actually set a debt limit. Rather it suspends the debt limit entirely until Jan. 2, 2025 and there is no actual amount capping the debt ceiling.
They tell us this bill cuts $41b in its first year; about the same amount as the unspent COVID funds. Pretty convenient. Also not a cut.
A $1.4b cut to the IRS doesn’t equal $80b in cuts to the IRS. Nor does it mean we are “gutting” the IRS or its 87k new hires. Allegedly there will be $10b cut off top for 2024 during the approps process. But it’s also not in bill. That money can be cut anywhere the IRS decides.
Work requirements for SNAP moved from age 50 to 54 and student loan forgiveness EO repeal never happened. Not sure why anyone even bothered here.”
