Biden better no fukking agree to anything with these people. Use the fukking 14th amendment and be done with it. The below is what will happen if this old man caves.
Today’s X-Date: A two-year spending cap is going to harm millions of Americans.

But the practical consequences will also be terrible. We don’t know the details yet, but returning to fiscal year 2022 budget levels would mean an immediate cut of about 13 percent to every government agency and program (thanks to an unusually large spending increase in 2023 to account for economic growth, high inflation, and a few additional programs). If defense and border cops are exempted, then the cut will be perhaps 22 percent.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), the ranking member on the House Appropriations Committee, solicited estimates from various government departments on what that 22 percent cut would mean. They told her that just for starters, 60,000 people would not be able to attend college; 200,000 children would get kicked off Head Start; 100,000 families would lose child care; and 1.2 million people would be removed from WIC nutrition assistance.
One hundred twenty-five air traffic control towers would be shut down, affecting one-third of airports, and no doubt worsening the chronic snarls in American air travel. Rail safety inspections would be cut back by 11,000 work days, meaning 30,000 miles of track going uninspected. (More dangerous chemical spills, here we come!) Some 640,000 families would lose rental assistance, and 430,000 more would be evicted from Section 8 housing. And even all that isn’t the whole list of carnage.
Alllllllllll those concessions, because conservatives refuse to implement a fair tax to the wealthy. What a fukking shame.
And TYT went bananas yesterday. Going IN on Biden, because of a Politico leak. Knowing damn well Politico been known to put out some bullshyt recently.
We just gotta wait and see. One thing that I agree with what they said.. republicans have ZERO leverage right now. They HAVE to raise the ceiling.
