From the article:

"Unlike in past years, neither Democrats nor Republicans have been using the....debt ceiling increase as a vehicle for scoring political points against each other."



Gee, I suppose that's because they are BOTH responsible for running up the debt and they are trying to keep it as quiet as possible!

Our elected officials in Congress $uck.

ALL of 'em!

Over $400 Billion went to interest payments on the national debt.

I could think of better ways to spend $400 Billion.

Infrastructure? Health Care? Education? Border Security?



Nah, better to give the money to investors in China.

Regretfully Americans seen to be burdened with a choice of what variety of suited turd they'll have running the 'greatest nation on earth'.
