Soon the Repugnants will be blaming the Dems for the cause of the debt ceiling disaster while Kevin Mccarthy literally has his hand on the detonator 🙄.

Democrats had every chance to authorize borrowing to pay for their spending packages, but they didn't.
It's worth holding them accountable for bragging about programs that they left without funding, for putting us in this situation, and hoping that Republicans would fix their mess.
If you didn't hear Republicans having issues with the Trump deficits then I don't think you heard from many Republicans.
I heard at TON of Republicans yelling about it.
Anyway, it is new funding.
That legislation passed without funding the spending it authorized doesn't change that this is about raising more money, more debt, for those programs.
And without funding there is no spending, so yes, it is also new spending.
@volkris This is funding for legislation that's already been approved. No new spending. As Repugnants want people to think. Correction. As they want their "base" to think.
Congress has always raised the debt limit & now House Republicans want to play political games w/ the American people's livelihood. Folks seem to conveniently forget that it was Trump, during his short lived presidency, that added trillions to the deficit. However Republicans didn't have an issue or all that mouth then. 😏
