June 1st is rapidly approaching. Without raising the debt ceiling, "economic calamity" could happen.
Without a debt ceiling agreement, millions of jobs could be lost, Social Security checks may be stopped, and a global market catastrophe could occur.
But the GOP is willing to gamble with all of these things to dig in their heels and prove that they are the party that wants to take away from the many to give to the few.
Their version of a compromise for the debt ceiling includes:
- eliminating IRS improvements to keep up with the 1% that don't pay their fair share in taxes
- blocking student loan debt relief
- repealing tax credits for companies pursuing cleaner production and progress on climate action/
- work requirements for the lowest-income Americans
The Democratic party wants to pay our bills, honor our responsibilities, and keep families in their jobs and homes. Republicans have an alternative agenda and live in an alternate reality.
