Crnr2Crnr Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 why not figure out a way to actually pay down the debt? If I had a credit card that was maxed out, I wouldn't call my bank and ask them to raise my credit limit. Would you? We elect all these people to look out for our best interests and that includes the monetary health and stability of our credit card. I honestly cannot recall the last time the Democrats and Republicans worked unilaterally to address the problem and both parties are equally guilty for continuously kicking the can down the road. As far as I'm concerned I hope it doesn't get raised, we shut the government down and us credit card owners get pissed off and start asking questions. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The political process however, has both parties in a tail spin whirl wind into who can curry the most favor, for their own personal profit.

motonoggin Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 You can't argue against higher average worker wages AND be pissed about the amount of debt spending. Well, I mean, you can, but you're basically telling everyone that you don't know shit about economics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
