McCarthy, Republicans refuse to say what spending they want cut

[Bugsy McGurk]

They do make clear that they don’t want to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. And they can’t cut payments toward interest on the debt. But they still claim they want to balance the budget, although they say they will refuse to raise taxes. They say what they won’t cut, but refuse to say what they will cut.

So, bottom line, Republicans threaten to cause a default by not lifting the debt ceiling, unless they get spending cuts, which they refuse to identify.

GOP madness at work…

In debt ceiling fight, McCarthy can’t shake his arithmetic problem — MSNBC

As Speaker Kevin McCarthy's debt ceiling hostage crisis moves forward, he can't overcome one of his biggest problems: His arithmetic doesn't work.

Let's just hope that Biden shows some backbone and does not fold.

What difference does it make?

There will NEVER be real cuts to anything. Even considering reducing govt spending from 5% to 4.9% will be labeled as hateful, racist and homophobic by today's radical Marxist extremist who have hijacked your party.

I don’t think the GOP really cares about spending cuts. Their real goal is sabotage - causing fiscal calamity with their debt ceiling threats, which they can then try to blame on Biden.

He won’t fold, but it’s a no-win situation. As I said above, the GOP’s real goal is economic sabotage through their debt ceiling extortion. Which people like you will blame on Biden.

They could start by cutting funds for $400 a night hotel rooms in NYC for 10's of 1000's of illegals and then cut all funds spent supporting illegals food/housing/medical care/welfare for starters and then have students start making repayment of student loans.

I will, as always, assign blame to where it is deserved. You on the other hand will continue to turn a blind eye to reality when Biden screws up.

Budget cuts are a losing issue for the GOP and are just for show because Hunter's dad would love nothing more than shutting down government over not raising the debt ceiling and blaming the GOP for what would be a 100% guaranteed economic collapse since half of all GDP is based upon government spending money it doesn't have.

The old GOP “They could start by…” idiocy.

That wouldn’t even put a noticeable dent in the budget. What else you got?

This one actually thinks Biden wants to shut down the government.

Bizarre.

So why ask if all you're going to do is whine and dodge?

The hell it wouldn't with 4million+ damn illegals since 1-20-2021
plus all before

Cut all politicians pay in half and benefits, send NO more money abroad until budget balanced

I didn’t ask anything. I simply noted that McCarthy and the Republicans refuse to say what spending they supposedly want to cut.

Are you saying Hunter’s dad won’t stand firm (your words), and will sign into law GOP budget cuts to avoid a shutdown?

You got high hopes Skippy

That money was already spent as Covid Relief.

All makes sense now doesn’t it?
