Once again, you conflate a government shutdown with a sovereign debt default, thereby confirming my point. Indeed, the pending debt ceiling debate is about whether to pay for budgetary items already approved by bipartisan Congressional votes. IOW, the GOP is threatening to default on our sovereign debt if we pay the bills for programs that they themselves already approved.

I won't judge the Repubs for the impact of COVID spending, which I've been critical of in the past. The Dems were all-in on that spending and continued it under Biden, so I'll spare you any more of your own hypocrisy for bringing it up.

The GOP's $2 trillion tax cut was passed over 2 years before COVID showed up.
