Wasn’t it the Dems that held it over this time? Wasn’t the last political news that DT wanted to blow up the debt limit and congress basically said F-off that’s our power?
I mean, I’m all for giving a middle finger to the GOP, but let’s not put blinders on here, Congress has ceded so much of their power to the presidency (or deferred to judges) that the debt thing is one of the few tools they still have.
No, he only wanted it suspended while he’s in power, but not repealed. Then do the usual repugnican thing of spending like crazy on tax breaks for the rich and force cuts to public services when the dems are back in power.

only one party has actively caused the government to literally shut down over this instead of cooperating. guess which one.
but i agree, both parties are complicit to some degree. when i say conservatives, that includes the majority of the democratic party.
