Then blame Democrats for all the problems they caused.

...as popularized by Thom Hartmann. ( Actually, Hartmann calls the dilemma "shooting Santa Claus" ). Chomsky refers to it as an intentional "fiscal trainwreck".

Money.

use to stick into each other's faces when the debt limit is reaching its limit.

I'd say let the markets decide when the debt limit has been reached, and react accordingly, as the money markets usually do, when a company or such defaults on their obligations.

But Nooooo, they won't do this, they want to volleyball this issue back and forth. It's getting a little tiresome and old.

Republicans always binge on a credit card, make the economy falsely appear like everyone's doing great, and then wait for the dems to clean up after them. The media has always ALWAYS credited them with the party they create, and never with the hole the republicans dig the country into.

Extending Trumps tax cuts for the most wealthy costs the same amount $4 Trillion why didn't they notice that simple solution
Don't extend the tax cuts and you would have the money without expanding the debt

they can't get every Repuke vote for $4T.

And the Dems won't give them that much, especially once the cuts are incorporated.

How else will they pay for those tax breaks the rich need so desperately? Push that debt off to another generation of MAGA spawn who will have to pay for it.

Go and rescind the tax cuts of the last ten tax cuts

This fiscal responsibility! /snark

4 trillion dollars for 19th and 20th century theories on border security, and money for all the wars they're planning. Hope the magas are happy, because it will be at the expense of Ss and Medicare... which is not part of the debt... and spending on food vouchers for the least among us.

How so utterly Christian of them. They do so have the moral high ground, eh? /snark.

Time for Republicans to learn about tit-for-tat prisoner's dilemma

It's their guy...........

Setting a target amount without first putting together the proposed spending budget would be a mistake. I think the actual number based on a proposed budget would need to be larger—perhaps $5.5T. It would take 60 votes in the Senate, but I think the better option would be to cancel the Wilson-era law that established the debt limit in the first place. That may force Congress to use the Committees to write the Appropriation measures to fund the government and how to pay for it.

Even stinky knows he can’t cut enough out of the budget and keep his tax cuts without borrowing money to pay for it.

Because to Republicans - Tax cuts are "Magic Beans™!"

After all their BS about fiscal responsibility. Every time a Republican becomes president we go farther in debt.These people are traitorous criminals.

These clowns only know how to run up the bills, stuff their pockets, and bankrupt things.

Yeah! Right!

Now that Trumpers are back in power, all of a sudden nobody gives a shit about the budget or deficits anymore 😒
