"What makes the debt ceiling qualitatively different is that this isn’t a policy dispute.

For all intents and purposes, it is a Republican extortion scheme."

What makes it typical MAGA is that they’re lying about why they oppose it, and how they want to “fix” it.

The point is to pay debt we’ve already incurred and NOTHING can reduce that amount.

$4 trillion + was added to the debt bc of trump. Biden has reduced debt.
