Why did they raise the debt ceiling and also pass this CR then
The idea is to keep the government going while DOGE has a chance to reduce spending on FY 2026 by $1T. In the mean time DOGE and the President will try to cut as much as congress and the courts will allow for the remaining FY 2025 budget.

Yeah but they raised it by 4 trillion. That’s nearly 2 years at the current deficit spending rate.

Propped up by lies by the Fed and overvaluing Wall Street and stocks. Everyone knows this. But nice try. Inflation was way higher than what was ever reported because they kept taking out energy and groceries.

They didn't raise spending 1 dime. 2026 will have dramatically less of a deficit that 2025. Where do you get that BS from?

Lets not forget they went as far as changing the definition of recession. Even though CNBC had used the back to back quarter of negative growth as a recession, they changed it when Biden had 2 down quarters. Wiki changed the definition and eventually LOCKED the page so people would stop changing the definition back to what it was.

This was Biden's and the last Congress's 2025 approved budget. Trump and DOGE are trying to cut it daily but it's going to take time. Especially with radical judges getting in their way at every turn. Your question will be a great one for 2026. If we don't cut the deficit at least .5T each of the next 2 years then we may lose the mid terms. If we can, then maybe we pick up seats and by 2028 we have a balanced budget.

I'm so tired of this talking point.
note that they call them "talking points" and not "debate topics" ===
they can only manage to get off driveway potshots at stationary "targets" - they are unable to mount a discussion of any tertiary information that might bring understanding to their 'topic.'
They choose a topic with an ominous sounding title and just spray it on the walls as they pass by in the night. Never staying to debate the topic or clean up the messes they create.
They are the political equivalent of roaches.

You are the living embodiment of the meme that the government will break your legs and then force you to buy a wheelchair at 150% above cost and demand you thank them for how much easier it is to get around now that you have a wheelchair.

They also said unemployment was at a record low.
They said all sorts of crazy things.
Was that before or after the Big guy revised the numbers??
