If tax revenue doesn’t cover government spending then….this is a crazy thought…… cut spending? Make spending more efficient?

What’s exceptionally dumb about the debt ceiling fights is that they have nothing to do with spending. The laws that authorized the spending have already been passed and the budget has been set.

The debt ceiling fight is literally just a threat to not pay for the commitments we’ve already made. It’s basically fraud.
