"SNIP......

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi signaled that Democrats will seek to extend the federal debt ceiling during the lame-duck session of Congress, avoiding a potential fight with Republicans that she said could threaten the US’s credit rating,” Bloomberg reports.

“Even with party control of the House undecided on Sunday after the Nov. 8 midterm elections, Pelosi cited Republican threats to use the debt-limit extension ‘to cut’ Medicare and Social Security.”

Just fucking double or triple the debt ceiling, there shouldn't even be one anyway. Put it way out of reach of Republican trouble-making.

The debt ceiling makes no sense and should be abolished

11. Great! Madame Speaker is hedging her bets, and that is a very wise
