Just sharing this. I was struggling with Trump's position on not wanting a debt ceiling passed. Had all negative thoughts. Is he planning to spend to the moon?
Then someone pointed out to me that every time Congress votes to raise the debt ceiling we get billions and billions of pork added to the bills.
Maybe I am just slow, and everyone else had this figured already.
Passing a budget and not increasing the debt ceiling is completely illogical.
Increasing the debt ceiling does not mean we can "spend to the moon". Passing the budget to the moon is how we literally spend to the moon.
If debt ceiling really did the job its supposed to do, no one would pass a budget beyond the debt ceiling - but its been weaponised into a second round of leverage for the Cabal to get what they want.
Trump asking for debt ceiling to be raised to match the budget is a logical thing to do. If I write you a check for $1000, I need to tell my bank that they are allowed to cash $1000 checks.
However, the bill was passed without raising the debt ceiling. This means, this seperate problem will be exposed when the time comes - just like the budget problem was exposed by Elon's picture of the two bills side by side.
