You're right, both sides are playing politics. The problem is the two party system more than anything. But at least if republicans didn't throw sticks in the dem's wheels as much, shit would actually get done that isn't watered down money wasting.
It has been over 2 years since the Senate Democrats have approved a budget, Democrats cannot be trusted to lead because they cannot govern. They refuse to even release a written debt plan.
This whole debt is a facade to keep Congress in DC for the summer and to prevent the town hall meltdown to happen again.
debt ceiling has been raised 18 times i think in the last 30 years, why does everyone let the media make it into such a big ass story? itll get raised like it always does every freaking other yr it happens
