House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Thursday blamed President Biden for the lack of progress so far in a deal that would allow the government to borrow more money once it hits the debt ceiling in early June. Biden, McCarthy and other congressional leaders were scheduled to meet on Friday to talk about a possible deal to increase the borrowing limit and meet the GOP demand of reducing federal spending. But that meeting was pushed until next week, and McCarthy said the delay is because the White House isn't budging.
"I have not seen from there a seriousness of the White House that they want a deal," McCarthy told reporters Thursday.

I agree, the Dems want a default. They have been doing everything possible to destroy the USA from within, and not just the USA, but human progress over the last few centuries, they want to roll back to pre-industrial revolution times, destroying energy, transportation, modern appliances, culture, religion, and even male-female relationships and more. A default would do so much damage so quickly, and they can rely of the state media to blame republicans. It would probably be used as an excuse to invoke more extra-constitutional “emergency powers” that they became so used to under Covid. We are in a world of hurt.

McCarthy needs to pound home one statement, "The GOP lead House passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling". Enough said.

The demoslut party plan is to ruin the U.S. and destroy it. Defaulting on the national debt would just be a step in the right direction for them.

Between Biden’s proliferating Senior Moments and the increasingly corrupt journalists, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will be handing out one set of cue cards to the reporters with the questions and another set to Biden with the answers. She will also will be stationing Hunter Biden in the back row holding an ice cream cone to keep dad focused.

Of course they want default. Destruction of the nation is the goal, and they don't care who gets hurt in the process. This is all no surprise to anyone with a clue. Destruction of America has been the goal of Obama and Soros for years.

Man, Biden will make history as the worst libtard President, which doesn’t say much for those who voted for him.

Both parties have been spending us into bankruptcy for decades now, and neither one seems willing to make any meaningful cuts. It just gets worse year after year. This may be the only way to get the mess under control. Like they say, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Biden is playing chicken with McCarthy.
He is betting that the Republicans will fold a like a cheap suit.
Just like always.
Kevin, your Speakership hangs in the balance.

Let's default and see what happens. I think the American people will survive. Washington DC may not, and that would be great.
