It’s the Debt Ceiling, Stupid! A Factual Guide for Republicans



It’s the Debt Ceiling, Stupid! A Factual Guide for Republicans

So when Republicans sit there and try and use this vote as some kind of leverage to blackmail the president into giving them something they want, they’re gambling with not just our economy, but the lives of millions of Americans.

To say their actions are reckless would be an understatement.

And it’s even more dangerous that many Republicans have blatantly distorted what the debt ceiling is and the consequences that could follow if we refused to raise it on time.

So once more–the debt ceiling is not about new spending, it’s not about borrowing more money, it’s not a spending bill of any kind.

And it’s damn sure not something anyone, or political party, within our government should be using as some kind of bargaining chip.
