re: Why is the debt ceiling the hill the GOP wants to fight on?

quote:

---

Group R and Group D have a 50/50 split in Senate and D controls ONLY by a tie- Break Group D has the slimmest majority in the House Group D tells Group R “ frick you. We will fundamentally change EVERYTHING from voting laws to spending. We might even pack the SCOTUS and kill filibuster rules. Oh, and we don’t even want your opinion on any of this. “ Also Group D “ oh shite. We have to do something that stinks first. Why are y’all not helping us?” frick Group D with Hillary’s dick.

Except that is not what happened or the way it happened.

JULY 2021 - McConnel says GOP will not participate in debt ceiling raise. Effectively telling Democrats you are on your own on this one! - Article -
LINK

AUGUST-SEPTEMBER
Democrats, now on their own since McConell told them they are on their own, go out and do just what he suggested, make up a budget and debt ceiling rise proposal without GOP input since they (GOP) they said they would not participate.

NOW -

So after telling the Democrats to take a hike, the GOP NOW says "Hey, you guys are so partisan and mean and unfair!! Why weren't we asked for our input in all of this". I don't have a link but that is what a GOP senator just said on television.

LOL!
