You guys are always doing this. Is it just your version of passing the budget?

Idk why you have to keep arguing about whether to keep America running or not every couple years.

For the last decade it's just what the republicans do when they only control one house of congress and not the presidency. They do a performative idiot fit for a few months that appeals to nobody but weird cranks and then the monied interests step in and make them raise the debt ceiling because defaulting would cost them trillions of dollars and even delaying passage of a new debt ceiling translates to billions in losses.

I can't think of a reason for republicans to even pretend to have a debt ceiling fight. It only seems to hurt them. I guess they could be extorting the monied interests for more bribes

we talk about how austerity is necessary during the budget but then we also have a cool bit of insane non-accounting for a “debt limit” that allows an entirely secondary set of discussions about how austerity is needed.

I think America should borrow as much money as possible just so the economy collapses extra hard once the dollar is no longer the petrodollar and the world's reserve currency.

Can some lovely political rag hire me to make a meaningless gibberish piece about how we should all stop worrying about the debt ceiling and instead worry about the debt roof.

It doesn't mean anything, so I can do the lib garbage, the chud garbage, or the supercilious centrist garbage version.

I'm genuinely unsure if you mean that there's more spending on the military and less on foodstamps or if you can now exchange foodstamps for guns.
