Even establishment Democrats say Chuck Schumer must go - Lemmy.World

Despite his “no” vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints Either Schumer no longer has effective control over own his caucus, or he has permitted the deal to progress with a wink and a nod behind the scenes — and with a strident disavowal for the bank of cameras he famously loves — while taking Democratic voters for fools.

Here is my bipartisan compromise and before you say anything and call me a centrist, hear me out:

Schumer and McConnel BOTH tied together and in cement shoes at the bottom of a deep sewage pond.

I know neither side gets much out of it at a glance but think of the implications and ROI.

We could pay down a significant amount of the national debt just with ticket and PPV sales.

When will people understand that it’s mathematically impossible to pay off the national debt? Debt = money. The more money you print the more national debt you have. As long as you back your currency with debt instead of hard resources then paying off the national debt is as impossible as finding unicorns and dragons to ride.
