Government funding is set to expire on September 30, but the stopgap bill the House approved last week would extend funding and keep the government open through December 3. In addition, the measure includes a debt limit suspension through December 16, 2022. The clock is ticking to address the debt limit and Congress may only have until mid-October to act before the federal government can no longer pay its bills.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has made clear for months that Republicans will not vote to increase the federal borrowing limit, setting the stage for a major showdown over the issue. McConnell's threat has prompted outrage from Democrats, who have said the GOP leader is playing a dangerous game that could tank the US economy.
GOP totally WANTS America to go to shit JUST so they can blame Dems. So obvious.
Most of the fault for inaction to pass legislation that will benefit the common folk and main street Americans and aid the economy and jobs is at a stalemate in Washington DC as Republicans refuse to help. They allowed debt increases under Trump that only helped big businesses.
This is the point I don’t understand! If republicans are blocking things from happening then why aren’t THEY being blamed for shit being fucked up? Why is everyone getting mad for not working with them when they have made it crystal clear they aren’t going to work with democrats?
Trump’s -Jeff Sessions- approved the legal [seizure] of cash,& property from people “suspected” of crimes but not charged. Let's see if Biden’s Merrick Garland has the courage to follow this guideline against Trump and his treasonous enablers. Wouldn’t it be perfect karma!
GOP not wanting to participate in Democracy. Go figure 🙄
Important things are only important to Turtle Man when he's not Minority leader. That's how spineless jellyfish roll.
哈哈哈，共和党执政时，就要求民主党有责任避免政府关门。
MoscowMitch does NOT play for team America 🇺🇸. He could care less if our nation has financial issues, as long as they happen when Biden is in office. Debt didn't matter when Trump was throwing cash everywhere.
If Republicans put us on the brink of default or credit downgrade, then all options need to be on the table. Do you hear me Sen_JoeManchin & SenatorSinema? All options!!!
i mean McConnell is funniest looking dude of all time
为什么要担心？你们继续印钞啊！😆
The Democrats have failed to realize there inability to compromise with each other is selfish and foolish and tragically reduces them to a political mob with no real power.
Paint it how you want, but DEMOCRATS are in charge of CONGRESS AND SENATE.
Republicans are what's wrong with the US.
