I just hope people notice how the rescission clauses in bill pretty much debunk the rhetoric we’ve been fed for months about how this is about paying our bills.
Those of us who are familiar with that term and familiar with how federal financing works have been trying to spread the word that politicians are either lying or ignorant about how their own government works.
(Take your pick)
If the debt ceiling was about paying bills then rescission would leave bills unpaid, so it wouldn’t be a solution.
But BECAUSE those aren’t bills to be paid, because it’s merely spending authority, not actual spending, rescission helps solve the gridlock.
The press has really carried the administration’s water, misleading the public on this one.
