Comment from : Bokai sumi

They barrowing all this money from the future generations Now, our future will have it harder due to ignorance of congress
Comment from : Maurice Rush

In some point the debt will so high that the interest can't be paid by United States alone
Comment from : Fliprap

Debt just finances a bunch of bad decisions Our economy is inefficient
Comment from : joebobjoesayshi

Keynesian theory at its worst Hopefully there are at least some people in Congress who can see that the USA has far too much debt, and must pay it down

The collapse is gonna be epic

Comment from : Gama

As much as I hate to say it, that idiot McConnell is right It's not just Russian roulette It's a time bomb Only you have no idea how much time is left on it brbrWhat you do know is how big the explosion will be when it goes off and every time you raise it the explosion is bigger brbrMoreover the people it will impact are not the politicians that keep raising it So when people like posts you say it's the responsible thing to do to keep raising it, what they're saying is they need to make more money before the explosion goes off

It just points out the childishness of us Americans Why should any pocket be bottomless ?
Comment from : Larry Sherk

Comment from : C Thomas

The debt ceiling has NEVER been enforced! Therefore it doesn't exist It's just in name only Dah! Why are Americans so stupid?
Comment from : Gary Hughes

It's insane to think that the debt ceiling has never decreased from it's conception I would assume that this needs to be addressed from a global standpoint and exchange rate stand point

Comment from : blessedlord777

900 billion stimulus package total World's population in 2020 8billionbrSo they could've given literally everyone in the US 1B a piece and still have billions left?? So now we face a debt ceiling because our elected officials don't know how to organize finances Even a McDonald's crew leader has better leadership than this😂😂😳
Comment from : Trailblazer84

No one would like reducing the debt in the USA It would involve cutting US defense spending by, like 1/3rd, cutting Medicare (ok y’all gotta be 75 to qualify now), education (alright states and towns, you’re on your own), Veterans (sorry guys, we can only help y’all so much), and so forth And who likes higher taxes, right?
Comment from : Medic MacFly

Richest nation in human history and we are broke because we have been robbed from within
Comment from : Rogers Recycling

Why should I pay my debts if the USA isn't paying
Comment from : Caesar

Printing money is a backhanded way for government to collect money from the people Instead of raises taxes, the public loses their money when the extra money printed causes inflation devaluing what we have At the same time, government gets the money without raising taxes
Comment from : adamtki

OMG! A lot of senior American citizens are very poor because of debts this is why they are still working!!!brbrThey will probably work for the rest of their lives to pay for their debts! I have a male work colleague who is fat and struggling to breath but still working! He’s already wearing oxygen in his body yet still working! I think he purposely work while sick so he will get a free hospitalization 😂😂😂
Comment from : Goldy Baroa

The issue they miss is that you can’t keep printing money when a lot of your citizens have lost their jobs due to the pandemicbrbrIf you do that the banks, companies and employees of big companies end up getting more and more money while the rest of the people stagnate You have to put the money towards industry’s that is going to get people back into jobsbrSo your factory workers, miners, construction workers and domestic workers should be the first to get the moneybrbrThe rest of us upper middle class are all good, we don’t need the money

Spending ,printing,and borrowing is america - it represents the quality of our people
Comment from : Neal Amesbury

42 of our annual spending is on Social Security and Medicare That's more than twice as much as our military The only way to solve this crisis is to raise the retirment age When Social Security started out, the life expectancy was 64

The American people need to look at the Afghanistan “cost”!
Comment from : David

There are so many people aware of the debt ceiling so why is it so hard for congress and the President to figure out a leaner budget?
Comment from : Samuel Gonzalez

It's possibly time credit card companies begin to limit the spending of people in government like congress and the senate so they are aware what it means to control spending
Comment from : Samuel Gonzalez

Comment from : ANDRE

I’m watching Maryland Senator Christopher Van Hollen on Fox News and our national debt was a topic I heard Senator Van Hollen talk about a plant to lessen our national debt by three trillion dollars Google says as of today our debt is 316 trillion dollars So getting it down to 28 trillion would be considered an accomplishment? I can’t be the only American numb to that huge tally It almost cartoonish large
Comment from : moester75

The democrates sold our country to jewish bankers and established the federal reserve People have no idea they’ve been had…
Comment from : Cob Anus

The (((federal reserve))) isn’t owned by the American people it’s owned by zionists who only serve their own interests Foreigners own the US government who hate white Americans
Comment from : Cob Anus

As long as you let Joe give billions of dollars away when we get nothing for it our debt will always get worse All I hear is raise the ceiling Our government got us in this mess because they never tried to live on a budget, all they see is print more money I’m not that stupid I see through this
Comment from : Art Ross

spendings like $110bn to Ukraine!!!
Comment from : Ahmed Waqas

US can only increase its foreign debt if there are countries who trust it Japan and China are two largest creditors, and they are don't trust US anymore Even if US is friendly with China, there is still a default risk, which is as bad as getting the credit confiscated So, I think US is approaching the end of the road with its monetary adventure Even if it empties Fort Knox, there won't be enough gold to pay off China alone
Comment from : John Lay

Yes they are going to use the credit is all they know we the people are going to pay for it will take a few hundred years to pay
Comment from : Robert Delgado

The USA will become insolvent at some time because the idiots refuse to balance thier ck book, when the dollar is not recognized by the world we will be in big trouble, just hang on and pray because the idiots are just that idiots
Comment from : Danny Gosnell

These idiots can not grasp the idea of mathematics
Comment from : Danny Gosnell

Don't worry We already have a plan Once our debts reach a certain level, we will declare a war on China, confiscate everything owned by Chinese, wipe the slate clean and restart the debt ceiling from 0 again

Comment from : MrMustangMan

Imagine this: A Light-year is the distance light travels in one year A very great quantity, in deed! As Light streams through space at 186,000 miles per second, that means that it travels 588 trillion miles in a year Needless to say, "5,88 Trillion" is a number very difficult for anyone to even visualize Now try to imagine 30 Trillion! This is the number of Dollars the United States Government currently owes the International Banking System!

None of this makes sense who is the government getting loans from and how does an individual or company have enough money to loan the US government
Comment from : YXYY XXX

Debt ceiling has nothing it's about reduced federal spending It's all about the federal budget spending so adjust fed spending so we can get a 401k and countries won't buy USA bonds and depression not inflation

Comment from : Markus Asplund

When are we going to address this as a nation I'm willing to help pay our debt as a country if we make public figures finances public and do things to prevent embezzlement and stop corruption also can we stop giving money away for a few years I know people need help but if we aren't here we can't help anyone I would appreciate restructuring our financial institution we all know what it is

Comment from : Onechill Braj

Biden administration is using Quantitative Tightening while the economy is still vulnerable from covid in an attempt to pay down national dept very aggressively not to bring down inflation Quantitative Tightening The Fed’s balance sheet is largely made up of US Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities, and stocks It also currently holds corporate bonds after purchasing them for the first time in 2021 to combat the economic effects of COVID-19 paying down the national dept on our backs as the top 2 keep their tax breaks

There is no debt ceiling The US debt is @ 31T and this has been going for the last 60-years So the government will just print more money because there is no spending policy in the brUS government led by corrupt politicians
Comment from : Henry Lee

The Government does not finance anything by "borrowing aka issuing Treasuries" Where did the USD come from to buy those Treasuries if not from previous Government spending? Issuance of US treasuries is not a borrowing operation but a monetary policy operation to affect interest rates
