Americans are confusing the debt ceiling noise with potential policy ideas to reduce the national deficit (that could easily be addressed by reforming our tax laws and demanding the wealthybillionaire class and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.)But this is not what is going on here.The debt ceiling vote is a procedural vote on releasing the funding on programs, bills and basic government costs already approved by Congress. Yet, what the already lame duck Speaker McCarthy and his right wing cohorts like Gaetz & MTG and in the GOP Senate Rick "snuff out social security & medicare" Scott are trying to pull is a forced crippling of programs they despise like Medicaid, and SNAP, and the 15% minimum corporate tax requirement that was included in the Inflation Reduction Act.Republicans are trying to use the threat of U.S. default as blackmail to impose their tax breaks for the rich and kill social infrastructure programs ideology. McCarthy's GOP cabal of MAGA ne'er-d-wells want to undo the progress and success of Biden's domestic agenda accomplished in the 117th Congress: all the bills which passed that actually address climate change, green energy, drug cost reduction, infrastructure, jobs creation, US manufacturing reboots,in other words policies intended to improve Americans' lives, create opportunity, and move our country forward in positive ways. Speak out. Tell the GOP to stop holding our nation hostage to threats of default.
