I think it is a misnomer to call it a debt ceiling. Let's call it what it really is - A BOTTOMLESS PIT being created for our grandchildren that will swallow them whole. It just sounds better to hint at ascension rather than a precipitous slide into fiscal destruction. Shame on us for allowing this to happen, we have no more self-restraint than a fat person in a donut shop.

I’ve never been negatively impacted during a shutdown. I also want Biden to pick up the phone and call the German Chancellor and tell them THEY can supply some tanks, this is in their backyard, and we’re already providing a massively lopsided amount of resources.

BUT he won’t.

If they're still taking taxes out of your paycheck, the government is not shut down.

Absolutely! And THEY are still getting paid too boot. This entire facade is nothing but fear mongering to fool the unwashed masses.

Safe for now...our hired help in DC are not functioning in our Citizens best interests.

It is nearing time to get out the pitchforks and torches, just sayin'!

We'll actually save money since none will be sent to Ukraine.

Didn't feel anything either. This is a test of how serious the Republican House actually is about spending.

Didn’t feel a thing either. Besides it’s something I have absolutely no control over so I concentrate on the little things I can control.
