The sole piece of legislation raising the national debt ceiling presently being considered by Congress, which is being spearheaded by House Republicans, is in danger of a veto from the White House.
The Republican-led legislation to increase the debt limit and reduce government spending was denounced by the White House within a Statement of Administration Policy as “a careless attempt to gain severe concessions as that of a condition for our country simply repaying the bills it has previously incurred,” and the administration pledged to veto the bill if it reached President Biden’s desk.
The 2023 Limit, Save, and Grow Act would increase the debt limit while addressing the national deficit in America. The GOP’s plan would reduce government spending by about $130 billion during the upcoming year while raising the debt limit to around $1.5 trillion.
The White House declared that “the President has made it clear that he will not tolerate these attempts of hostage-taking,” before alleging that the GOP will be to blame if the county fails. “The debt ceiling must be discussed by House Republicans without demands or restrictions, exactly as Congress achieved three times during the last Administration.”
The White House said that “the proposal would cause severe cutbacks to programs that the hard-working Americans and members of the middle class depend on, risking recession, default, widespread job losses, and years of increased interest rates.”
Despite the California congressman asking the White House to organize meetings to discuss the issue, Biden has declined to meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) over the national debt ceiling. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), who will soon be up for reelection in a GOP leaning state, recently criticized Biden’s “deficiency of leadership” for not meeting with the Speaker.
The plan will go to the floor for a vote this week, according to the House Republican leadership, and will require 218 votes to succeed with his four-seat majority. The Senate, however, will have trouble approving the bill because Democrats now have a 51 to 49 majority there.
Democrats don’t want to get spending under control because they want to keep buying more votes with our tax money, like the excessive spending during the pandemic that is now causing our rampant inflation and threatening the existence of the middle class. Democrats want to get the middle class on government programs and be able to subject it politically.
So fire them from the positions they hold in the next election. Problem solved
If only they could or would fire those people the current administration is doing everything it can to make the government fail we need Jesus
WE have no term limits for either party. And to think lots of people voted for Biden because they
were democrats. And this man has done nothing but work for the Congress since he began working.
No wonder our democracy is in such a mess. Too many people in our Congress just vote for what they can get. So they “buy people’s votes.” They have borrowed so much money that belonged to the working class and now they have borrowed so much that our social security will be gone. TERM LIMITS NEED TO BE ESTABLISHED FOR BOTH PARTIES. We also allow a few million of people who shouldn’t be in America and we take good care of them. What about “we the people who are Americans!”
Go ahead Biden. Veto it! I guarantee you the republicians wont blink this time…this is a new group of American first representatives…I think there is still about 4 or 5 RINO idiots in there but they can be controlled until their next reelection then replaced with real maga republicians… In the senate they have a slim majority now that feinstein is out and any day fetterman could go back to the loony bin…so go ahead joe…veto it and see what happens to your poll ratings and your reelection chances…the lib dems will kick you to the curb faster than you can eat your fuc*ing ice cream cone!!
The four prior comments all have great ideas. May I explain my position? To be united we can not just blame the Democrats. In the vote count that put our current president in office, there were a number of Republicans in that count. It would be nice if we could just fire those we disagree with. But isn’t that what AOC wants? Yes, it would be nice if the people who are in the congress would not be bought. For example, the Senator from West Virginia was the deciding vote on the upcoming budget. Senator Schummer said that West Virginia would get a very large project, which I do not remember precisely. Unfortunately, “We the People”put those in Congress where they are. The problem with term limits is that Congress will probably be the people to vote. I do not think that will work. Yes, David my desire also.
This struggle is not good vs bad. It is good vs evil. So, David, your idea is really the only one that will provide a time of peace.
I despise Biden, his family and his admin! He has brought shame on this great country.
The debt limit was well known when the $1.7T 2021 Omnibus Bill was approved by the previous Congress led by Pelosi. So, why is this all about government meeting its commitments. Something has to break the non-ending drain on America for social re-engineering programs that benefit a minority of fringe groups and too many non-citizens.

BIDEN is a Traitor Middle class. (Biden is responsible over SIX ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONALS INTO AMERICA and increasing Every Day’!) BIDEN supports eliminating the White middle class. Biden wants to diversify America with mostly non-white Illegal entry foreign nationals who have no respect for our immigration laws!. They have four baby’s per family average. Biden wants to eradicate the white man and his Christian values. (Biden is a white liberal who hates his own white skin) Biden is destroying America’s freedom of speech! Biden calls freedom speech a MAGA point that he wants to eliminate. Free Speech’! Biden is a Dementia person who does not enforce Americas Immigration laws and ignores the White Middle class in America. Biden is a TRAITOR to America And America’s middle-class. Biden supports as many people on the DOLL $$ to get their votes in the next election. Buy on the Plantation’$$$! Then the Traitor gets easy votes. Biden wants the Illegal entry foreign national be allowed to vote!
Everyone in government is crooked. If they wont they would do their job and indict the crooks in dc
So we know the leader likes to fondle small girls, he married his baby sister, he showered with his daughter, his daddy got him a Medical exemption for Vietnam draft from which he was cleared after Vietnam was over. What a miracle with the timing, He visited Epstein’s Island, He was a CLAN member early on while being in the government, He was responsible for getting the troops killed in Afghanistan and he was looking at his watch as they unloaded the bodies off the plane. He and his family take money from China and probably a kickback from Ukraine.
The biggest trouble in this country comes from a biased fake news media. They ignore the scandals of the democrats and point their fingers at anything the conservatives say or do as insurrectionists, white supremacists, and any other derogatory name they can come up with. There have been multiple cases of proof of voter fraud by democrats but when you have a judicial system who is afraid of what might happen if these cases were brought to court because of what the domestic terrorists from the left claim they will destroy property and riot. Dems don’t want law and order they want anarchy so they and their ass kissing fake media can blame conservatives. We all know dems could care less about the middle and lower class citizens which in itself is racist and derogatory. If dems cared the border would be closed there wouldn’t be defund the police policies and have a senile wanna be dictator in the white house. The guy who supposedly garnered 80 million votes. 30 million were probably fraudulent anyway.
