Huh? The democrats don’t want to raise the debt ceiling? Ok, where’s the problem? Don’t raise it. Cut the spending, cut the government.

Absolutely! The amount the government takes in can pay for priority items, like defense, and the people will find out quickly that they can get by without the other things. The establishment will be horrified to see that the curtain is being lifted on their charade, and will dash to pass something.

It would also set the stage for a shut down of government when they don’t pass the budget Trump calls for.

The only danger is that Congress with all the Republican weasels might be able to override a Trump veto of their bills. The House will probably be able to hold the line, the Senate, not likely.

Why do we even HAVE a debt ceiling?
