Why? He wants the federal government&#8217;s fiscal responsibility to be exhibited and some spending cuts made before increasing the debt limit.<\/p>\n<p>If that makes no sense to you, it\u2019s because you\u2019re one smart cookie and filled with common sense. If this sounds like you, then you might be a Leftist.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy and Biden will be meeting Wednesday to discuss the possibility of raising the U.S. debt limit. This is a common occurrence since the inception the debt limit.<\/p>\n<p>The first debt ceiling was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/backgrounder\/what-happens-when-us-hits-its-debt-ceiling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Handcrafted<\/a> In 1917, the legislative branch was created to slow down the process of building up debt. It does this by limiting the U.S.&#8217;s ability to borrow. America has racked up $31 trillion in debt since then. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of deficit spending \u2014 meaning the government is taking in less money than it\u2019s spending. To avoid default, you can raise the debt ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Leftists take that in their stride and say: \u201cWell, let\u2019s just keep spending and raise taxes. Problem solved!\u201d The GOP tends look at it and say \u201cLet\u2019s cut spending and cut taxes as well.\u201d Republicans have been great at cutting taxes, but haven\u2019t fared so well at limiting spending \u2014 arguably due to their historical support of the Department of Defense, no questions asked.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy claims he now has a plan to create a balanced budget. McCarthy claims that part of his plan includes targeting woke nonsense like diversity, equity and inclusion trainings as well as LGBTQ nonsense within the military. So, He does want to cut DOD spending \u2014 he just wants to be smart about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a big plan. The first question is does the president want to continue reckless spending or find a way that we can be responsible. Sit down and find common ground where we put ourselves on a path to budget. Make a balanced budget,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mkraju\/status\/1620874814889267200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> Wednesday<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also appeared in January <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/3814551-mccarthy-weighs-in-on-defense-spending-cuts-amid-gop-divisions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">He shot back at his political adversaries<\/a>, \u201cWhy would we sit back and be so arrogant to say no, there\u2019s no waste in government?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t we look at all the money that poured out during COVID? What money of that has not been spent? Why wouldn\u2019t you pull that back yet?\u201d He thought.<\/p>\n<p>That question hasn\u2019t been answered. In fact, Biden isn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2023\/01\/31\/debt-ceiling-talks-biden-reaffirms-he-not-negotiate-gop\/11126412002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offering<\/a> McCarthy&#8217;s response. He maintains that McCarthy&#8217;s response will not be taken into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the next step? The truth is that the U.S. hit the debt ceiling in January. The Treasury Department has put into practice what it calls &#8220;Reforms&#8221; since January 19. \u201cextraordinary measures,\u201d These include <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy1196\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Not funding certain aspects<\/a> U.S. government, such a \u201cportion of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It will buy the U.S. for a period of time, up to June before it defaults. It could have devastating consequences for our credit rating and the economy if the U.S. fails to raise its debt limit.<\/p>\n<p>Biden claims that Congress owes it the nation, and to the entire world, to raise the debt ceiling. That begs the question, what\u2019s the point of even having the debt ceiling anyway?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s best to look at this another way, using a metaphor of sorts.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say your mom had a dieting idea for maintaining her weight in a healthy manner. She wore a belt to help her keep track of her weight and promised that she would change it if it got too tight.<\/p>\n<p>But then as she accumulated mass and her pants became uncomfortable \u2014 rather than kicking into Keto ASAP and adopting some intermittent fasting measures \u2014 she just decided to loosen the belt a few notches. Let\u2019s say she did that repeatedly until she ballooned so much that \u201cyo momma\u201d She became so obese that she could not swim in the ocean without being spotted by whales and start singing. \u201cWe are family!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t you say that that belt is pretty pointless? As a good daughter or son, wouldn\u2019t you at least try to get your mom to change her lifestyle?<\/p>\n<p>So it is with McCarthy and the U.S. credit limit. He must at the very least try to get America to spend its money better. It\u2019s unlikely the U.S. will default on its debt. McCarthy would find this a political nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>As did the House Freedom caucus, which won him the speakership in the House, he promised the voters to end reckless spending. It is his duty to his voters.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the simplest solution that McCarthy and Biden need to negotiate?<\/p>\n<p>Well, according to the president of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, \u201cThere has to be, first and foremost, a dollar-for-dollar correspondence between whatever dollar amount is added to the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats and their lapdog media allies want the American people to believe that Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy\u00a0(R-CA) is fiscally irresponsible.
