The Republicans think they can use the debt ceiling to control the entire government, the way they used a handful of votes in the House to make McCarthy their puppet Speaker. I sincerely hope they fail.

Perhaps Biden and the Democrats should go on a media blitz to make certain the public understands that raising the debt ceiling is necessary to pay for debts already incurred. Keep reminding the public the many ways Republicans overspent and the debt went up because they gave the wealthiest among us huge tax breaks.

Make sure the public understands the debt ceiling is not a new budget. Remind everyone how the Republicans are willing to destroy our economy and world standing in order to get their irrelevant demands met. The debt ceiling should not be open for negotiation.
