#republicans keeping yelling about spending cuts…
Where’s their #budget ?
#potus has a budget…where’s theirs.
How can we discuss “cuts” w/o their budget?
There’s no such thing as a…
“Republican Budget”!
They released it and voted it out of the House a couple of weeks ago.
@volkris that was not a detailed budget…aka POTUS.
It’s a ridiculous proposition.
It's funny you say that since Biden has spent a week complaining about the details in the legislation that they passed, but you say there are no details?
But of course there are details. They are posted right there on the official government websites for us all to look up for ourselves if we want to.
“President Biden wants Congress to raise the debt limit without any conditions, saying he’s willing to talk about the budget, but not under a threat of default.”

“Their bill, which would raise the country’s borrowing limit for a year in exchange for a decade of spending reductions, does not include many specifics. It achieves most of its savings with spending caps for discretionary spending — the part of the budget allocated annually by Congress that is not automatic like Social Security payments — but it doesn’t say what discretionary programs should be cut and which ones should be spared.”

Here's the bill that you can read for yourself, without having to rely on outfits like NYTimes.
After all, there's a reason people have lost so much faith in press organizations: all too often their reporting just doesn't pass fact checking.

@volkris
Sorry we disagree about declarative statements.
The probability…w/o stats on “all media”…
I know the blow #fox has caused to #news dept’s.
But it’s true.
The declaration from #mccarthy I want…as Dems did 3X under 🤡…
Approve the debt (a majority from the tax cuts for the rich) limit!
I’m all for budget discussion on specifics (our main sticking point)…
When we’re negotiating the budget & voting on it!
You're repeating talkingpoints that are really easy to debunk. I don't know who you're hearing them from, but you probably should stop trusting those sources.
Right now the Treasury has already been approved to finance all debt involved in the tax cuts. How do we know? Because it already did! Those costs would have hit before last year, and the government is still functioning.
That debt is handled.
THIS is about the president seeking new borrowing power to pay for the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, which promised to spend nearly 2 trillion dollars.
