Biden administration officials said they were not planning for how to prioritize payments. As the U.S. edges closer to default, the Treasury Department declined to say whether that has changed.

The answer is simple.

Red States should get no money from the Federal Government until the debt ceiling is raised.

What a great solution. I wonder why your president Biden doesnt agree with you.

Because Biden is a dummy of course.

Looks like Biden got it done. He wisely appointed two competent staffers to talk to the Republicans and come to an agreement.

“The deal suspends the debt ceiling for two years and allows the government to pay its bills without a hitch if signed into law before Monday. In a concession to Republicans, the plan limits domestic spending for two years and imposes some new work requirements for certain individuals receiving food stamps and those in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. It also would pare back roughly $20 billion of the $80 billion approved last year for an expansion of the IRS”

So Biden caved. How disappointing. I thought he didn't negotiate with terrorists...

If Biden caved, why did the final vote on the bill get more Democrat votes than Republican?

165 to 149

hilarious. Remind me, was this a Republican bill or Democrat?

All of them caved in to the terrorists. How disappointing.
