Democrats Complain Republicans Holding Economy, Debt Limit ‘Hostage’

Sean Moran 22 Jul 2021

Senate Democrats complained Wednesday that Senate Republicans are holding the economy and the debt limit “hostage.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Tuesday that Republicans will not support raising the debt ceiling, a move that could grind Democrats’ infrastructure push to a halt. The debt ceiling expires at the end of July, meaning that the Democrat majority will first have to tackle the debt limit before trying to pass trillions of dollars of infrastructure and social spending.

McConnell’s hard line tactics have  infuriated Democrats.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) said Wednesday, “Nobody is going to hold the American economy hostage, period, full stop.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said, “The Republicans are trying to extract something, and say that their leverage is they will have the United States default on its legal obligations, which is fundamentally wrong.”

I’ve seen this game too many times. Republicans in the minority party, they make noise about the debt, Democrats cry “Republicans are holding our economy hostage,” Republicans take Congress the following election year, Republicans proceed to raise the debt ceiling for more spending on their part
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

If I didn't know better, I would think it was all planned out in advance. :laugh:

   If these azzholes read and understood history they know the turtle will fold like a cheap suit.  It's all kabuki theatre. 
   Our grandkids will wonder why we bought the ticket to this show.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Same old schlitz -- the notorious blame game in which the GOP accomplishes nothing.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
