You do not get to negotiate paying your Light Bill. If you don’t pay the lights get shut off. Congress pay your damn bills. #debtceiling
There's a lot of misinformation going around about the bills.
The debt ceiling disagreement is NOT about paying bills. The Treasury has plenty of revenue coming in every day to pay the bills, as you can see in its report below.
The disagreement is about buying *new things* borrowing more to enable new spending, creating new bills.
Plus, paying bills is an executive branch function, up to the president, not Congress.
Politicians are lying to us, counting on us not knowing how the federal government works so they can engage in political grandstanding.
