She is likely to get both passed or she wouldn’t have proposed it publicly. She will be entrenched against even her own party.
What was that about Dems caring about the national debt. What was that about tyrants taking power.
The debt ceiling is a purely political tool that has zero impact on the national debt - none. And you know it.
Neither party gives a rat's ass about the national debt.
I see how you think.
Instead, every time it needs to be raised, they grandstand about the need for fiscal discipline and try to score cheap political points. Yet the end result is exactly the same. It serves no purpose. Might as well get rid of it altogether.
The debt ceiling vote allowed congressman to vote against a budget that they didn’t dare oppose directly. A budget has so many worthy and unworthy items mixed together that it is a guaranteed political loser if you vote against it and the media grabs a hold of it. This gave them some voting autonomy....
And limiting the ability to recall a house speaker is pure power consolidation that even you should be able to understand...which I think that you do since you completely ignored that part of my post.
A deficit ceiling would be more interesting.
