The data are easy to digest, especially page 121, the 2023 column.

Receipts of $4.5T. Mandatory outlays of $3.5T, excluding $396B in net interest payments.

The government can certainly find a way to shrink its bloat by $396 billion.

Well of course we’re going to default at some point. Just not this month. 😏

This BS again?

Since when does not incurring MORE debt = defaulting on your current debt.

The US will eventually default when no one will buy our debt anymore. That is when the meltdown happens.

Just proves one of my reservations about him - the sloppy communication. Knowing that you are going to be quoted on this - why use language owning this as the GOP? Why not say "I am confident that the United States government will not default." He plays right into the Democrats plan to make the GOP the scapegoat in this.

“ ” I know the President said he didn’t want to have any discussions, “

WTF?!”

Remember, he said it on CBS where that statement is heard by many libs. It’s a throwaway line with no downside.

But Biden/Schumer aren’t backing down. Bear in mind Republicans will blamed. Just ask Chuck Todd, Joy Behar, Whoopi, Joy Reid and the other Communists in the media.

You know the Republican Party is worthless when a demented old fascist like Biden will rub their noses in it, give them nothing and make them bend over for him.

He knows the Republicans will cave and agree to a few more zillion dollars in spending.
