Haha – is this an old column you recycled? Because I noticed this line: “Meanwhile, conservatives – who view big government with suspicion…”
You don’t really think we believe that do you? It might have been true when Reagan was around, but you are now just as big government as the Democrats. If not worse…
Just end the debt ceiling and let Republicans spend us into oblivion giving handouts to their billionaire Epstein files inductees. If we’re going to go bankrupt we might as well make the first trillionaire or quadrillionaire while everyone else starves.
Republicans have a majority in both the House and the Senate, if a spending bill does not pass it’s 100% their fault. If they can’t get their own member’s to vote for their plan what does that say about their plan? If they need Democrats to pass it then they need to cross over and work with them, don’t go crying to Trump when the Democrats refuse to sign off on some heinous bill.
The only real shutdown that is ever going to occur is when most of the world governments, hedge funds, and major corporations come to realize that the USA has reached the mathematical point of certainty where it cannot make payments on any more debt. It will probably start with a default on bonds currently held by adversarial nations – under the guise of politics and war – as nations have done for hundreds of years going back at least as far as the Spanish empire. And then when the default occurs upon an ally, it will all come crashing down, and like Greece, the federal government will simply directly raid state and private pension funds and private bank accounts under the guise of a national emergency.
Trump added 30% to the national debt in just four short years his first term, what will this term add? When will folks realize the Republicans only pretend to care about deficit spending?
