Whell's World. Why do you vote for these clowns, Whell?
Well, you and others have cheered Biden for refusing to negotiate or even meet with Repubs on the budget. Biden's position definitely puts default on the table. But hey, you voted for him, so I guess that makes it OK.

In the meantime, while you were cheering, apparently Biden decided it was finally time to talk. Are you going to vent your ire on Biden for finally discussing this? Doubt it.

From the USA today article you posted:

“Can you guarantee as a leader in the United States Congress, that the United States of America will not default on its debts?” CNN host Dana Bash asked Emmer on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“I can, assuming that our president and the Schumer senate recognize the gravity of the problem. This is no longer about politics,” Emmer responded, referring to President Joe Biden and congressional Democratic leaders’ refusal to entertain budget cuts tied to a debt ceiling proposal.


He's right. You can't keep kicking this can down the road, as both parties have done for years: https://bipartisanpolicy.org/debt-li...ugh-the-years/
