Republicans' resistance towards raising the debt ceiling has nothing to do with "fiscal responsibility". It's purely an excuse for them to take a hatchet to the social safety nets that working class relies on. https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1616093575506460673

“We just hit the federal debt limit. If we don't raise the debt ceiling, it could trigger a global financial crisis. But the House GOP refuses to raise it unless Biden agrees to Social Security and Medicare cuts. Let's be clear: There must be no negotiating on the debt ceiling.”

@rbreich And if their voting-related schemes succeed, then those affected can't vote the #republicans out. Perfect for them, really bad for the #USA

@rbreich goddamn right. The very middle class the GOP has conned into believing it is their salvation.

@rbreich social security was tolerable when revenues exceeded payments, so the government could use the excess and leave little ious in the fund. Now that SSI is cashing in those ious, all of a sudden we have a crisis.
The problem is that voters are too dumb to understand.
