The White House amped up its attacks on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's budget Friday as it moves toward a floor vote – calling it a risk to health and environmental programs and would 'poison the lungs of our children.'
It was just the latest attack on an emerging budget document set to get a key House vote next week, amid a standoff over raising the nation's $31 trillion debt limit and House Republicans' demands for cuts.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the plan put forward by the House Budget Committee amounted to 'holding our economy hostage' that she said would 'kill jobs, fill our cities with smog,
Buckwheat is a touch hysterical in her language, don't you think?
Not helpful, to say the least.

What economy? Trump had a great economy and Biden and his handlers have deliberately torched it. Are they really convinced we are that stupid? They are just mad because McCarthy put the IRS funding for those 87K agents on the table.

Call their bluff, shut it down. It's not much of a threat, it would be a blessing.

Hold the Line, Kevin!!!, this moron will cave sooner than you think but if it has to come down to shutting the doors of the federal government I always remember what Rush said many Years ago: "The only time the country is safe is when the Congress is not in session"
tell diapers to shove his whole plan where the Sun never shines

Who cares what the WH calls anything? McCarthy holds the trump card, and should not raise the debt ceiling for any reason.

Chemical that melts bones: vinegar. Another: HCl ( pool ph leveler or concrete cleaner) also called muriatic acid. Another: HF, hydrofluoric acid, glass etcher very common in the semiconductor industry. HF will not effect skin but will dissolve bones beneath.
Most of our "ruling class" are morons. Fact.

Let's do a 'Keystone pipeline' job on the federal government. Start with the Dept. of Homeland Security, the EPA, the Dept. of Energy and the Dept. of Education. Let's save some real money.

Biden and Democrats always seem to forget that Republicans breathe the same air and drink the same water that the Democrats say they want to destroy. Just the usual hysteria. Surprised he didn't claim it was only aimed at Blacks, POC, LGBTQ, Trans, women, and children only.

The only issue with not raising the debt limit is that the value of the dollar would be so trashed, that everything we buy would cost more, inflation would skyrocket, and the dollar as the currency of the world would probably be replaced. Possibly by the Chinese Yaun. Several countries have already worked out deals with China to use the Yaun as their trade currency instead of the U.S. dollar.

The "ransom note" or "extortion tool" is passing a bill to spend money you don't have the means to pay for, and KNOWING you didn't, but expecting that the debt ceiling would simply be raised to accommodate.
