National Debt

A USA Today columnist broke the leftist media ranks in a scathing criticism of “Bidenomics” on July 6.

The New York Times editorial board seems to have rediscovered basic economics: excessive federal government borrowing is “unsustainable.” Thanks, Captain Obvious! 

On Sunday afternoon's edition of Inside With Jen Psaki, the former Biden White House Press Secretary turned MSNBC host took to the airwaves whining about congressional Republicans like Speaker Kevin McCarthy getting credit in the media, and in official Washington, for working out an agreement with President Joe Biden to raise the debt ceiling. Proving that she is still essentially a…

Social Security is toast. So is Medicare. Too many of us old people live longer, so there are not enough working people to support us. Soon both Social Security and Medicare will be broke. Our politicians don’t have the guts to do anything about it. Or even talk about it. It’s easy to see why. Recently, France’s president, trying to keep his country’s pension system from going broke, raised…

This week, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden cut a deal to raise the debt limit. The breakthrough came after three months of Biden pledging not to even negotiate over the debt limit. Instead, Biden was forced to concede to a 1% cap on increases for non-military spending, a cutback on IRS funding, a clawback of some unspent COVID-19 allocations, and addition…

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough brushed aside Joe Biden's Close Encounter of the Sandbag Kind. Instead, in absurdly glowing terms, Biden toady Scarborough hailed the prez's deal with McCarthy as a monumental, Reaganesque, achievement.

CNN’s Friday edition of Inside Politics turned into a Biden 2024 ad as host John King previewed Biden’s Oval Office address on the debt limit deal by asking his assembled panel if he could make “centrism, compromise sexy.”

“Thieves! Fire! Murder!” This exclamation uttered by Radagast the Brown in the movie The Hobbit was not too far off from MSNBC’s Alex Wagner’s characterization of the GOP House Freedom Caucus members who opposed the McCarthy-Biden debt ceiling deal on her eponymous show on Tuesday night.

How trustworthy is Joe Scarborough when he starts telling stories about his lecturing private lunches from six years ago? Today, Scarborough claims he told then-Congressman Mark Meadows back in 2017 that the House Republicans need to focus on spending less government money. But that's nothing like what he said on MSNBC in 2017, when he said the Trump budget was "nothing less than hateful."  …

Shortly after recommending that President Joe Biden sign a fiscally irresponsible debt limit deal, the great minds at The New York Times pushed for what even Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called a “constitutional crisis.”

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way” is an old and familiar quotation, often attributed to Albert Einstein, who was on to something almost as significant as E=MC2. What if there is no will, is there still a way? It doesn’t seem likely. In Washington, will has come to die to paraphrase Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida and now Republican presidential candidate. Rarely is anything significant…

Days after House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden announced they had a bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling, left-wing CNN historian Douglas Brinkley tried Tuesday on CNN Tonight to rewrite history in order to give Biden credit for coming to the table to negotiate. Unfortunately for Brinkley, Republican political strategist and senior political commentator…

Conservative radio host Mark Levin recently took far-left Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to the woodshed for outrageous comments he made about the debt ceiling and how President Joe Biden could circumvent it.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, in a moment of utter obliviousness, praising Biden and McCarthy for acting like adults in reaching a debt limit deal, says: "There are days we should wake up and say, you know what? Things are getting done. And it's not always quite as bleak and catastrophic as people who get paid a lot of money to say it is."
