Imagine being so pathetic to deny disaster aid, farm subsidies and children's cancer research over a lawmaker cost of living increase you approved yourself twice while in office and still begging to have your own debt ceiling increased.
What job in the world let's you VOTE on your personal pay raise? None Shouldn't a raise be based on job performance? We, the PEOPLE, should be voting on it.. I for one vote NOOOOO!
Every year I voted to get a pay raise and then the state legislature voted for the approval of the bill then the governor signed it. Depending on what kind of job you have
Lol holding hurricane victims hostage? Okay, I see how this works now. This kind of just looks like a loyalty test, to me. Trump wants to test and see if congress will do what he says, even when it's obviously going to cause them pain. Johnson, just like the border bill, dutifully threw out three months of work. And this is what passes for "good leadership" under trump.
I disagree. Voting does not limit terms. Is there a yearly unannounced vote you are participating in for Supreme Court Judges. Did you vote for them? Why weren't the rest of the population privy to that particular limiting factor in our judicial department?
I don't blame the Democrats for being fiscally responsible. That's for sure. Because they're not. But I WILL blame them AND the Republicans if they pass this bill full of pork when I can barely afford to eat.
How can this be a republican thing when it’s democrats in office? They expect congress to sign a 1500 page bill in under 24 hours without reading what another billion dollars are being pushed into our nation. They are trying to line their pockets it’s only gonna water down the dollar
What are you going to blame the republicans for? Denying a 40% pay raise to the politicians? These politicians are mad they won’t get a 40% pay raise and you’re upset for them? You got a brain? Meanwhile idiotic democrats like you try to say that the left is for everyday citizens when the left side of the government wants to stuff its own pockets? LOL. The left right now: Boooohooo my favorite politicians wont be able to get brand new beach front property every other 5 years anymore. 😢😢😢😢😢
Boohoo the republicans denied my favorite left wing politicians a 150K pay raise they’re just so evil for serving the American citizens rather than my favorite politicians 😢😢😢😢😢😢 Im just so beat up at the thought that my tax dollars aren’t going to be used to fund the paychecks of useless politicians.
@@Jay-is2jyraised the average families buying power. Kept us out of foreign wars that we had no right to intervene. Secured our border. Protected our rights.
They openly admit they only had a week to read the bill. I doubt a single one read it and were just going to push it through so they can take early Christmas break.
Raising the Debt Ceiling is like a company asking for bankruptcy so they can keep getting money to do other things while failing. Thats not a solve that's just ignorance and greed.
Except the money is already spent. Not raising the debt ceiling serves nothing but costing us taxpayers more money. I dont expect someone like you to understand, but the credit rating of the US would take a hit and the money that the US already owes will will garner higher interest rates. The fix is for congress to do their job, cut unnecessary programs, do better with the taxes they already collect, collect taxes more fairly, and pass budgets that work towards paying off our massive debt. The answer is NOT to not pay our debts which is what not raising the debt ceiling would do. Politicians count on people like you not knowing how government actually works.
Trump raised our debt by at least 8 trillion dollars and Republicans want you to pay for it. They either raise the debt ceiling or we default as a nation, our money means nothing internationally, and we enter a Depression the GOP is incapable of resolving. The last one was solved by Obama.
You're fooling noone. Everybody might not know that the debts ceiling doesn't work in the way you imply, but we who voted Trump know he knows what he's doing. And you screaming and hollering in this gaslight only convinces us to trust Trump more.
He and his buddy Vivek actually read the sneaky 1500 pages they tired to bring in at the last minute. Congress's emails can't be subeoned, health care special for them comapred to the rest of gov, pay raise of 40%, pork after pork. If it has 1500 pages, there is a lot no good in it, no matter who wrote it.
No the American people looked into the bill because of the warning and saw a bunch of BS so they started contacting their representatives to vote no. Congress did not deserve a pay raise, health insurance increase , a bunch of pet projects to be funded, a new law that would stop all congress members and their staff members from having to turn anything over in any investigations and more money to other nations ! Utterly ridiculous. The second bill was better but still needs a lot of fixing. The debt ceiling has been raised constantly and never been useful for anything other than threats and a way to jam stuff up by the minority! It's a joke and with what the Democrats gave away on illegal immigrants, c19 shut downs , pet projects and what both parties gave away to other nations it's a complete joke to all of a sudden yell " stop it's the debt ceiling "
@ismaelmartinez1962 congress hasn't received a raise in 15yrs. The last bill had a provision for a 3.8% raise. Elon rounded that up to 40%. You drank the Kool aid
Before Congress gets a raise people on Social Security should get a minimum of $1,000 a month. If members of Congress need more than their $174,000 a year, don't they think those on Social Security need a minimum of $1,000. a month? Social Security has become Social Poverty. When one can't afford vehicle insurance, home maintenance, or attending a social event there is no security, it's devastating poverty.
Amen. I'll be receiving less than $12,000 a year in SS. Do they care? Nope. Meanwhile, I'm possibly facing amputation of my feet. I'll be lucky if I'm not in a wheelchair on the street a year from now. Oh, I also cancelled my car ins last week so I can eat. No one cares.
I find it odd that people are frustrated over raising the debt ceiling. When trump tripled the deficit by passing his tax cuts .... What do you people think trump is going to do in January? The same exact thing.... If you believe trump is gonna do anything at all for us regular people, you're sorely mistaken.

@Robert-fs6ge In practice, Trump’s tax cuts ended up being roughly three times the value for the top 1-5% versus the bottom 60%. You may like taking a few hundred dollars in crumbs as payment to give Trump and other multimillionaires hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I’d rather have a system that doesn’t just work for the rich.

Musk literally made that 40% number up. It actually didn’t include any raise; it just didn’t include a block on a cost of living increase that would be roughly 3.8% this year. But don’t worry, republicans cut $200 million in children’s cancer research funding this round to bring down the cost!
@billdunlap320 Yet you have no problem with Trump having dinner this week with Musk and Bezos to plan the future of America before tanking a bill that provides disaster relief, funding for farmers, and children’s cancer research? Just hand your wallet to the billionaires instead next time.

Hi you are falling for fake news. Look up "did the spending bill have a 40% raise for politicians". It's not that hard, but magats are the party of falling for fake news so idk
I thought they said he tanked the 1500 page. Bill. That included raises for congress And the inability for the FBI to investigate house members for corruption. I think we all agree that should have been tanked. They removed all that came in with 100 page bill and Democrats voted against it. Because Democrats and some Republicans want protection from being investigated for corruption And they want a pay raise.
I wish that were true. Unfortunately, most of these people will just believe whatever nonsense they're told. And don't think the "liberal media" isn't in on it. They wanted Trump to get reelected because he drives engagement, ratings, clicks, ad revenue, etc
Congress should have to convince a 12-person jury of ordinary Americans that it deserves a raise in order to get one. As it stands, they would be hard-pressed to do that. That tells you what you need to know.
@@Jimmy-e2z So would republicans. Literally on average, Republicans add more to the debt than Democrats do. Even comparing the past two presidencies. Trump added significantly more to debt than Biden did

I say we get a movement going and get the layman's law passed. They've been trying to pass it for decades and it gets blocked, but basically no riders, the title of the bill has to match what's in the bill, and if it can't be accurately understood by half the population, it has to be rewritten until at least 51% of people can accurately understand it on the first read

Two words. Debt clock. Google it. The debt rises regardless. We could stop spending for the next ten years and it'll still be rising. But I get it. It's all Trump's fault, right?
The fact people are playin the blame game with this is amazing. Lets make the switch from multi-issue bills to single issue bills. Simply address the most important topic of the bill that will prevent gov shut down. Instead of some blanket agreement to a bill nobody even has time to read.
The Republicans already agreed to this until Musk - who has no valid power to do so - demanded that they not vote in favor of it. He’s a freaking billionaire. What does he care if people don’t get their paychecks right before Christmas or any other time . he obviously doesn’t care about children fighting cancer either because he wanted that pulled out of the bill. I wish he would go to Mars and stay there.

Really? I thought Biden was in office the last four years and made the smoking mess seen before us. So it was Trump all along? Good to know...this is why you can't have a conversation with the opposition.

I agree shut it down. Let’s be honest all these congressmen and women act like they are so busy because they have to finally work and just because they are working around the clock. Big deal we all work so just because they finally working they feel so overwhelmed. SMH 🙈
I guess you missed the part where all the house members already did all the work and put forward a united bill from all points of view. Only one myopic point of view was defeated, not the majority.
@ I think I was commenting more so on the pretense of having to finally work because as you can see when we are watching news and them being interviewed the pretense of their body language is they are exhausted.

Guess what happens when it gets shut down? The only people that suffer, are the LOWER level government employees. Assistents, Military, Mechanics, Custodians, but Biden, Trump, Congress, guess what? They get paid. NOTHING happens to them.
Do you realize shutting down the government will stop the payment of a lot of hard-working tax paying Americans some that even support your cult leader Donald Trump or do you not care about them getting paid over the holidays

Why does Congress deserve a 40% raise to deal with inflation when Social Security only got 2%?
Hi you are falling for fake news. Look up "did the spending bill have a 40% raise for politicians". It's not that hard, but magats are the party of falling for fake news so idk
Both not in the bill. Folks believe in what ever on X too much
@shengkaili7882 you read all 1500 pages? You're full of crap
@@shengkaili7882 you read all 1500 pages?
Make that make sense if they can have a 40% raise.... I want want one in my ssdi check too!!!!
Congress tried to give themselves a raise for doing nothing in that 1500 page bill they hope nobody read
Funny how that 1500 page Bill all of a sudden dropped to 161 pages. Wow, the pork-fat must have just been a pourin' off that baby 🤣
We the people 300 million vs the elite 3,000 in Washington. Thyre too cocky my friends!
Of course he does. Always passing the blame. Useless
He is such a child!
The US under Trump is a game of three card monty
Its always somone elses fault with this guy...
Sometimes it is other’s fault
Yeah always😂😂😂
@@mikelockhart5528that true, but it’s never his fault with anything.
@@mikelockhart5528 he never takes blame...ever
I thought they said he tanked the 1500 page. Bill.
That included raises for congress And the inability for the FBI to investigate house members for corruption.
I think we all agree that should have been tanked.
They removed all that came in with 100 page bill and Democrats voted against it. Because Democrats and some Republicans want protection from being investigated for corruption And they want a pay raise.
Financial advice from a guy with six personal bankruptcies? This is dumb.
Not the issue. Trump is very successful in business. You are blame shifting like Dems do
His bankruptcies were to make himself more money, get a clue. He became richer after his bankruptcies. 😂😂😂
Now tell me how many businesses he's owned
I AGREE 100 % Why would we listen to a terrible business man!??
@vermintky So you admit Trump is self-serving and doesn't care who he hurts in the process?
Sheep admitting they're sheep
He wants to get rid of the debt circling so he can add another 6 trillion to it
People are woke now.
This is all going to backfire on the GOP, stop their paychecks too.
No raises on their salaries also.
Smdh
Hmmm DOGE vs No debt ceiling? How do you say one thing and do another? Same old orange grifter.
It won't work we see right through you.
Do you want to give congress a 40% raise…? Typical dem
I wish that were true. Unfortunately, most of these people will just believe whatever nonsense they're told. And don't think the "liberal media" isn't in on it. They wanted Trump to get reelected because he drives engagement, ratings, clicks, ad revenue, etc
See right through who? Who is the sitting President? Biden. The end. If you had any clue what you were talking about it would help
Bidens the one who has spent billions funding wars and paying for immigrants
Biden never said shutdown. It's Trump/Musk. Let them deal with their stupidness
Truth
100% this
This.
Straight up facts. Shutdown brought to you directly by President Musk and First Lady Drump.
Who's the current president?
Why is it Biden's fault?
Yes, when he's done such a wonderful job the past 4 years. 😂
@@susanstrickland6774It was your favorite guy that just cut pediatric cancer research, not Biden.
@@laynerice4012 if they really cared about that, they wouldn't have added a bunch of pork to the bill that they know won't get passed.
@@laynerice4012 how so?
@susanstrickland6774 yes he has. Thanks for admitting it.
Congress should have to convince a 12-person jury of ordinary Americans that it deserves a raise in order to get one. As it stands, they would be hard-pressed to do that. That tells you what you need to know.
12 leftist would gladly vote for more debt.
@@Jimmy-e2z So would republicans. Literally on average, Republicans add more to the debt than Democrats do. Even comparing the past two presidencies. Trump added significantly more to debt than Biden did
Your headline asserts “Trump blames Biden”. How about “Trump threatens GOP if they vote yes on bipartisan bill?” Or do you only care about his assertion, untethered from the truth?
TDS bot confirmed
How the hell is it Biden's fault!? Just because he's in office? 😂 Make it make sense Donnie? You and your buddy Musky are the ones calling the shots, soooo it looks like you're to blame!
Not sure either how Biden is someone to blame for a budget bill that hasn't even left congress yet.
No debt ceiling? That’s trumps wet dream.
Trump and Musks did this a non American citizen
No more bloated 1500 page bills this is crazy
@@gimpfoot If they did that then they wouldn’t have any way to deter everyday Americans from actually reading them. This would make it very hard for the politicians mind*%* their respective constituencies into believing everything they say about any particular bill.
Why does the amount of pages matter specifically?
Where do you think you live? It's a country with 340 million people!!!!
@@seancarson3327 So you have time to read them. 95% of those to vote did not read it, they snuck it in at the last minute. But two very astute people read it. e.g. One line item states that congress emails can not be suponeaed. Snuck it in.
I say we get a movement going and get the layman's law passed.
They've been trying to pass it for decades and it gets blocked, but basically no riders, the title of the bill has to match what's in the bill, and if it can't be accurately understood by half the population, it has to be rewritten until at least 51% of people can accurately understand it on the first read
Musk and Trump are creating a circus government in the US, now Trump wants to stop the debt limit because he wants to cut taxes for the rich, so the debt will increase horribly, in the end the US will have a horrendous debt.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Broken Orange Record - iTs ThE DEMocraTS!!!
Johnson, the Dems and the Senate had a deal, Musk and Trump told the GOP not to pass the funding.
You put Trump in the thumbnail and then barely cover what he said. Do you understand why people don't want to watch your news?
That was his whole post.... What are you talking about?
Donald Trump is a joke
Does Trump take blame for anything.
Is Joe Biden still alive? How about Kamala? We've heard nothing from them on bringing forth options. At least Trump is bringing options.
@@gman8177Get a clue kid Trunps the one causing the issues wake up stop sniffing glue..Biden also has zero to do with congress he at least follows the rules Trump is trying to influence congress for his own agenda Stop eating grass
Why would he take blame for something when he isn't even in office yet.😒
Anyone know where Biden is?!
@@gman8177
Join Donald’s book club.
the reason donald wants the debt ceiling raised is he will just add way more debt.
Two words. Debt clock. Google it. The debt rises regardless. We could stop spending for the next ten years and it'll still be rising. But I get it. It's all Trump's fault, right?
And people believe his blatant lies. His supporters don’t even bother to look up information on their own
The fact people are playin the blame game with this is amazing. Lets make the switch from multi-issue bills to single issue bills. Simply address the most important topic of the bill that will prevent gov shut down. Instead of some blanket agreement to a bill nobody even has time to read.
Or just pass a budget at the begining of the term as is the mandate to the house?
Scrap all the add on's.
The Republicans already agreed to this until Musk - who has no valid power to do so - demanded that they not vote in favor of it. He’s a freaking billionaire. What does he care if people don’t get their paychecks right before Christmas or any other time . he obviously doesn’t care about children fighting cancer either because he wanted that pulled out of the bill. I wish he would go to Mars and stay there.
This make so much sense, but they going to not do it for whatever reason.
Totally agree this bull crap must stop NOW ! WE DONT NEED THEM IN THEIR NUMBERS WE NEED JUST ONE HUNDRED !! That is one Republican and one Democrat from each state ! Get this excess crap out of our government ! Streamline it now !!
Remember who was going to vote for this and let's not vote them in ever again!
Republican or Democrat they need voted out!
Why would you vote people out of office for paying the tsa and military during christmas?
@@seancarson3327 Since you obviously read all 1,500 pages of the bill, you can tell us how many pages related to that. While you're at it, please tell us what the rest of the bill contained.
@@colormedubious4747 are you slow or something? Tsa and military are essential workers. When the government shuts down none get paid but work for free. Why don't you offer them your check since they do not have a choice? Nothing to do with the language within it. Maybe they should have passed an actual budget this past year? Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
@@seancarson3327 So, you have NO idea what useless pork they crammed in there in addition to essential salaries. Got it! They already get a disproportionate amount of "my check," just as they have since 1972, when I signed and filed my first federal income tax return. Maybe if the Pentagon hadn't utterly FAILED 7 out of 7 of their most recent audits, I'd be a bit less cynical about this foolishness.
X and Qvarden Token are going to be merged. Easiest money in my life
Oh man they said bipartisan. They showed us. How about tell us what was in it
I googled it and found it within seconds. You probably shouldn't be dependent on cable television to tell you things you can easily figure out for yourself.
I support shutting down the government, because it’s not their money they just charge that credit card 💳 like there’s no tomorrow
Ah yes the party of “do your own research” that never does any research or if they do it’s on a Q site, a Chan site or Reddit. Bravo kids.
Google "budget bill text," and it's right there at the top for you to read for your self 'what was in it.'
1500 pages have at it.
Contact your congressman and demand they enforce section 3 of the 14th amendment of the constitution that they have sworn an oath to uphold.
Of course.. typical narcissist behavior.. never takes responsibility!
Now people will finally understand who they voted for. 😅😅😅
Right, because you sure won’t. Blind
Um, we understood on November 5th. Were you not paying attention?
So this didn't happen last year too, when trump was nowhere near office? Or the year before that? And so on?
Many choose not to understand and will continue blaming ‘the other side’ as he and his junk drawer run amok through the next 4 years.
@@CMane They always say that libs blame the conservatives for what they are actually doing. Been blind much?
Ask each lawmaker which item of pork they put in.
Not how any bills work. The speaker and opposition leaders negotiate the deal. Maybe just pass a budget?
When federal money comes to you, your community or state or a subsidy for a business or industry you're affiliated with that's good government. When it goes to someone else, a different community or state or a business or industry you're not affiliated with that's pork.
@seancarson3327 ALL bills should be single subject. No one could add to it or it will be misleading to the public. No exceptions!
America is getting porked.
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 do you realize there are about 10,000 bills proposed in congress each year. That is an ill informed and potentially impossible statement.

Trump is already making excuses
Shows you how much the incoming president really cares about America. As long as it doesn't happen after January 20, he's okay with anything.
The deal is bad. I'm glad it got taken down. They don't deserve ANY raise!
Qvarden Token has two of the largest Tesla shareholders already; most likely something is coming
No more spending out of this country
President Musk allowing Trump to speak on his behalf?
All you folks that agreed they should’ve gotten any amount of a raise are dumb. And they also wanted to be free of being held to the same standards as us… so you should brush up on what was actually in there.
Stealing credit and/or deflecting responsibility? That's called "doing a Trump."
Really? I thought Biden was in office the last four years and made the smoking mess seen before us. So it was Trump all along? Good to know...this is why you can't have a conversation with the opposition. Delusional Democrat radical progressives have convinced themselves like good communists that it's not them causing the problems when in office. Magically it's not their actions when in office but the opposition not doing whatever they demand that causes the the problems...delusional...
I don’t Like 👎🏾 Trump!
The average congressional salary is $174,000 a year and they only work less than 200 days.
I am in IT, work over 300 days a year and apparently in the wrong business.
You get 65 days a year paid

Trump takes credit for everything and blame for nothing.

Why should the lights be kept on? Nobody's going to work!
I agree shut it down. Let’s be honest all these congressmen and women act like they are so busy because they have to finally work and just because they are working around the clock. Big deal we all work so just because they finally working they feel so overwhelmed. SMH 🙈
I guess you missed the part where all the house members already did all the work and put forward a united bill from all points of view. Only one myopic point of view was defeated, not the majority.
@ I think I was commenting more so on the pretense of having to finally work because as you can see when we are watching news and them being interviewed the pretense of their body language is they are exhausted. Like seriously calm down and do your job properly so these issues wouldn’t be raised last minute or than turn into excuses 😂
Guess what happens when it gets shut down? The only people that suffer, are the LOWER level government employees. Assistents, Military, Mechanics, Custodians, but Biden, Trump, Congress, guess what? They get paid. NOTHING happens to them.
Do you realize shutting down the government will stop the payment of a lot of hard-working tax paying Americans some that even support your cult leader Donald Trump or do you not care about them getting paid over the holidays
I Say, If It’s Shut Down! Know One In America Gets Paid!
Doesn't he mean its Obama's fault.
No trump and Musk did it
Yea of course Trump is going to blame Biden 😊
of course, Blame others is his way of life.

CBS, Tell us again why Trump/Elon wanting to increase the federal deficit is a good thing for the US people. Congress already had a bipartisan agreement but Donnie/Elon nixed it. Congress doesn't deserve any pay raise until the increase the minimal wage.
