Proof: US Government Cannot Balance Books.
Proof that the US Government Can’t Balance Its Books
The comedian Nipsy Russell once joked, “If progress means to move forward, what does Congress mean?”
The nearly concluded debt ceiling debacle suggests Congress means always doing less than expected or necessary.
The Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling deal, formally known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday by a vote of 314-177. Seventy-one GOP members and 46 Democrats voted “no.”
Republican Chip Roy of Texas and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York both opposed the bill, but, as you might imagine, for different reasons.
Roy referred to the bill as a “turd sandwich.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s ocasio-cortez-says-shes-voting-against-debt-limit-bill/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>take was surprisingly less blunt: “I mean, where do we start? [No] clean debt ceiling. Work requirements. Cuts to programs. I would never — I would never — vote for that.”
On one hand, Ocasio-Cortez and her platoon of progressive pinheads think the bill goes too far in cutting spending, while on the other Roy and his band of budget-bashers think the spending cuts don’t go far enough.
So who’s right
