Debt Ceiling ≠ Credit Card
"no, Kevin McCarthy, you spineless lying fuck, your manufactured debt crisis is not like giving a credit card to a child.

it’s like giving a tax cut to the obscenely wealthy and then making the needy suffer more in order to pay for that tax cut.

that’s exactly what it’s fucking like, because that’s exactly what it is." - Jeff Tiedrich
