Joey, we are nowhere near broke. We do not have any "crisis". This is all manufactured BS.

We have to, by law, stated in the Constitution, pay the bills we've already incurred. The debt ceiling is just cash flow to do that. Has zero to do with future spending.

We need a single sentence raise the debt ceiling bill, then the Congress can go crazy creating committees to decrease our spending and increase our revenues.

None of that has anything to do with raising the debt ceiling.
