    These people really don’t understand the difference between household budgets and sovereign nations, do they? Does she think a bank is going to repo an aircraft carrier or something?

    1. Someone tell this worthless person that national debt does not work like personal debt, and that the debt of the world’s reserve currency is even more different.

    2. As a Republican, you’re not saving the Republic at all, bless your heart.

    If she was really serious, she’d put forth a resolution to repeal the 2017 tax laws that gave $1.5 trillion to the ultra wealthy, increase corporations taxes to pre Reagan days, and individuals taxes to Eisenhowers day.

    Other than that, fuck right off you Mewling Quim.

    I live in her district. She is an obvious Russian agent. I got a call from her campaign before her first election and they asked me “How important is improving trade and diplomatic relations between the US and Russia to you as a voter?”

      She’s literally a Ukrainian immigrant who advocates against Russia.

    If Congress does not pass a debt commission this year to move the needle on the crushing national debt and inflation, at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024, I will not continue sacrificing my children for this circus

    Ahh. So she’s one of the child sacrifice Republicans

    Why so much wailing over debt? I bet people like this Karen would have their heads explode if they were made to learn about MMT.

      MMT is, in fact, the problem, and a dumbass shell game history will rightly mock in the luxury gay commie future.

      Or we’ll be too busy fighting over water holes to worry about it in the post apocalypse, you know, whichever happens first.

      That doesn’t mean her screeching has a point, since she doesn’t actually have a solution that won’t make everything a hundred times worse and the con only falls apart when the suckers smarten up anyways.

    it’s 50-50 without clicking through that she’s trying to save us by a) voting to raise debt ceiling or b) voting against raising debt ceiling.

      It’s worse, she wants us to end government spending (you know that pesky Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, social security, welfare, food stamps…but not defense spending, go figure). And since she’s a rich Republican she can’t see the glaring solution of taxing the ridiculously fucking rich people to make up the difference. So she’s throwing a little temper tantrum. And the democrats are eating popcorn and watching as the GOP sets their hair on fire. 😂

    and our children will be ashamed of another worthless Congress.

    Asked further what she thought about global warming, Spartz yelled, “YOLO” and shotgunned a tallboy of PBR.
