Trumps says "Blow up the economy"

That's a great plank for his campaign. "Don't raise the debt ceiling, teach the basturds a lesson for being mean to me!"The new hats ordered from China read: MAD (Massive American Depression)... genius!

What Trump actually said:

“I say to the Republicans out there — congressmen, senators — if they don’t give you massive cuts, you’re going to have to do a default,” said Trump, who is again running for president. “And I don’t believe they’re going to do a default because I think the Democrats will absolutely cave, will absolutely cave because you don’t want to have that happen. But it’s better than what we’re doing right now because we’re spending money like drunken sailors.”

How is that extrapolated to: "Don't raise the debt ceiling, teach the basturds a lesson for being mean to me!" ??

Not cutting spending is not only blowing up the economy but it is blowing up the future of the country.

Even given the liberal spin/lies on this subject, the only thing being discussed is minimizing any debt ceiling increase.

Biden wants a war so he can blame the economic mess on someone else.

It’s easy… I just put on my red MAGA cap and say whatever the hell I want to say!

“When asked about the fight in Washington over the debt ceiling, Trump shrugged off concerns about a default, whichthe US Treasury has warned poses a “catastrophic” risk to the global economy. “It’s really psychological more than anything else. And it could be really bad, it could be maybe nothing, maybe it’s a bad week, or a bad day, who knows?” Trump said.”

Ohhhhh.... kind of like when Sleepy Joe puts on his blue hat and trots out another one of the time-worn scare lies?

There is no danger of a default.

This is all MSM fear tactics.

Payroll taxes continue and pay most of the Federal Spending which is Medicare and SS. The government continues to collect income tax money from quarterly taxes. The government continues to collect money from tariffs, fees & permits, sin taxes...

So they have to shut down most of the government. Last time they shut it down for 35 days and no one noticed. Getting rid of most of the Federal Government would be as uneventful as Elon Musk cutting 90% of jobs at twitter out. No one can tell any difference. Except Democrats will block veterans for national parks and only allow illegal immigrants to use them again. Good look Pelosi.

But the debt ceiling will be raised. The question is how much and Biden refuses to even sit at the table. It is his tactic to strong arm and the GOP cannot allow it.
