McCarthy has a plan to raise the debt ceiling. Let's compare it to the Senate plan. Oh, they don't. Put the default on Biden. Oh, but the media will blame republicans. So what, they would anyway, no matter what happens.
Hillary Clinton on national debt 13 years ago:
It undermines our capacity to act in our own interest, and it does constrain us where constraint may be undesirable. And it also sends a message of weakness internationally. It is very troubling to me that we are losing the ability not only to chart our own destiny, but to have the leverage that comes from having this enormously effective economic engine that has powered American values and interests over so many years. So I don’t think we have a choice – it is a question of how we decide to deal with this debt and deficit…. There is no free lunch, and we cannot pretend that there is without doing grave harm to our country and our future generations.”
