Why would Republicans want to do anything to preserve the full faith and credit of the USA? They are focused on the next election, USA be damned. Oct 18 is the deadline.

The Democrats control all our government right now, not by a lot, but they do. They don’t need one RINO to pass their budget. What’s the big deal here? They need to stand up for their principles. :)

SFC (Join to see) - Yet not a word about the Rs. Ds deserve whatever their division brings, but do Rs not even care? That was my point. Grab popcorn and watch us default, another first.

It's not a question of caring, it's a question of politics. Myself I believe a few RINO's will yield that will give cover to the Democrats when their budget and policies bankrupt our nation. If they really care, they will have the courage of their convictions and stand up for what is good for our Country. This proposed budget is not good for our Country. Even if they split the difference, it is bad for our Country... pass the peanuts, I don't like popcorn.

What budget did you last like? Watch this. Drama to come, but considering our times it's becoming less important. https://thehill.com/policy/finance/574231-yellen-warns-congress-has-just-three-weeks-before-us-expected-to-default-on

We all know the government never really shuts down. I was watching the ABC news yesterday about 4:45PM EST when they reported Social Security Checks would stop if they don't pass this bill. Now we know that is a bold faced lie, and no one called them on it.

SFC Casey O'Mally - Well that was nothing.... I'm probably wrong, it just seemed like they made a big deal out of closing the government down, but yea, like SFC Bernard Walco said, they never really shut down, just scare tactics....

Things not to do right before mid-terms:
Raise taxes
Cause inflation
Get caught not paying your taxes

Not surprised many aren't thrilled with this bill.

We all know Biden has always been a lying dog faced pony soldier for his entire life. Taking a liberty and going off script, he even lies when he doesn't have to: a prime example is an interview I remember seeing when Joe Biden said his father moved to Delaware because the coal gave out in the Scranton area. The Knox Mine disaster ended coal mining in NE Pa and happened in 1959, long after Biden Sr. moved back to Delaware. The link I am providing is about Biden Sr. and it doesn’t even mention coal mining, why does President Biden mention it in interviews. No one would even care. It doesn’t matter.

SFC (Join to see) - It becomes a conditioned response. They get so used to lying, it's easier to lie than try to remember the truth. We've watched politicians do it for decades.

What's troubling is even when people know they're a liar, they continue to vote for them.

What's troubling is even when the people know they're a liar, the media will go out of their way to make excuses for them.

"He's just so intelligent, he mouth says things before he thinks them through."
"She didn't lie. It was just a lapse in judgement."

Well, damn. Sign me up! Where do I vote for them?
