How many times have democrats been pro-gun and anti-abortion?
Of course republicans play games with the debt ceiling- part of their platform is predicated on cutting government income / spending.
- Eric_WVGG 3y agoIf that were true they would be consistent about the debt ceiling while there were republican presidents in office. That’s what “bad faith” means.
- pavlov 3y agoThe difference is that Republicans are pro debt ceiling only when they’re not in power, but happy to take trillions more debt when they are. Democrats don’t suddenly pass anti-abortion bills when they have the House.
- lesuorac 3y ago> Of course republicans play games with the debt ceiling- part of their platform is predicated on cutting government income / spending. Part of their _campaigning_ is on cutting government spending. But when they're actually elected the spending goes up. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/federal-budget-receipts-and-outlays https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/federal-budg...
