(#4621) Big week coming up

      Congress, well at least democrats, have a big week coming starting tomorrow. The infrastructure bills and the debt ceiling kerfuffle should dominate the headlines. What I am most waiting on though is the voting rights protection legislation. We will see if it gets any movement next week but if not then by the following week it should. As to the infrastructure bills the news media will harp on them and create controversy as to build up viewership but not to worry with Nancy, Chuck, and Joe putting their shoulders to it I am confident they will get done if not fully then close to it.
     The debt ceiling question, which is to pay for our nations debts already accrued, is still a toss up. The deal with that is every year we have to pay our debts and when trump left office he left us about 8 trillion more in debt than when he was appointed to office. So paying past bills is what this is all about so the idea that republicans wouldn't pay for their guys debt from the past is so hypocritical it is nauseating. The republicans through moscow mitch are threatening to filibuster the debt ceiling being raised so that money won't be allocated toward our already money borrowed.
     If the debt ceiling isn't raised and the deadline passes then the federal workers and social security recipients will not be paid. It is a doomsday type scenario that the republicans are playing Russian roulette with and it is a bullet in the brains of the American citizenry. Not only that but the good faith and credit of the United States will take a hit causing greater interest rates to come about. The world market as well will begin to tank in horrible ways that hurt the working middle poor class the most. So I expect that the republicans will block us from raising the debt ceiling because they love hurting folks that are not wealthy, who by the way will take a hit too but not like those of us who have no savings.
