Ben Shapiro Reacts To Debt Limit Deal, Hits Both Democrats And Republicans Over Spending Habits
2023-05-31
BLUF:
[WIRE] He contended that "every fiscal debate is basically about where to place the deck chairs on the Titanic" unless entitlement spending is addressed.

"Politicians all know this. But they’re incentivized to play kabuki theater over all the rest of the spending so as to avoid the third rail of American politics," he said. "They kick the can down the road. The iceberg is right there, but they’re screaming about where the chairs should go."

#7  No cap and the due date falls during a lame duck session where they will attempt to shovel dirt over the shallow grave that they have dragged the American people into.

#5   What was agreed to by the Freedom Caucus with McCarthy in exchange for the Speakers hip vs. the Biden-McCarthy proposal. The bill has no caps and it is like an open-ended credit card with no limit.

#3  I knew a guy who worked for the Dept of Community Affairs of the Commontheft of PeeAye. At one time, he was installed as financiam manager of two ajacent "distressed communities" One of them would later have Fester Fetterwetter as mayor.

This guy's entire job was to go to every council meeting and remind the respective councils that they had no money, nada, none to spend everytime they tried.

Needless to say, they didn't want to hear it. Unlike the US gummint, however, they couldn't print their own money.

#2  This ought to be on a big screen in both chambers of Congress. Or maybe we should require each Congresscritter to wear the debt total on a placard around their necks. Or maybe we should emulate the Romans and have an aide following each Congresscritter to remind them every ten minutes what the debt total is.
