They want the Dems to pick the cuts so next election year they can run on it saying “look what the Dems cut”. “ we didn’t cut Social security they did!”
That might imply governing, which is their kryptonite. >

Classic "dog catches car" doesn't know what to do with it... not very tasty. >

This annual ritual of manufactured crisis is getting so nauseating to watch.  Just abolish it already.  It serves no functional purpose >

This "debt ceiling" or whatever it is, is not constitutionally legal in any context. Congress can cut spending by passing legislation. Any legislation that was passed is legally entitled to be paid. There's no debate unless someone doesn't understand the Constitution >

Enters: literally 90% of republicans who use the constitution just like their bible; Never having read it but very quick to reference specific items out of context as long as it maintains the narrative. >

Because it isn't about spending at all. They spend money and cut taxes when they are in power, and cut spending when they aren't. Frugality and a budget only matter when a Democrat is in the white house. They have no agenda but obstruction. It is so obvious, it is basic math. Democratic presidents and congresses balance budgets and lower the deficit. Republicans spend money and raise deficits. We wouldn't even BE close to the debt ceiling if they would stop fucking with the economy to make Democrats look bad. It has been so since Reagan, and will ever be thus until the people voting for these blatant hypocrites finally realize the ruse. It will be too late by then. >

The crux of the proverbial nub right there. >

We can guess: Good for poor people = it gets cut. >

Not necessarily. If it helps rich people that is also on the table. Good bye IRS >

it doesnt matter, they want the default so they can blame biden and the dems. their supporters will continue to cheer them on for 'sticking it to the libs'
