Do you think that the Congress and the Senate will come to a bipartisan agreement to adopt a budget, and a resolution to borrow more money?

In the current political climate.

Not a hope in hell.

I personally believe that Trump will do another shutdown as another way to try to slow down the Congressional Oversight. I think he is more than willing to sacrifice McConnell and a slew of other Republican Senators to save himself. I also think that if he does all of this Pelosi will own him again and he will hurt his own reelection chances severely if not mortally. Now we will have to wait and see.

I honestly don’t get the point of the debt limit.

It’s like a speed limit on the highway that increases the faster you drive.

If we had a functioning government with an actual budget we would be much better off.

Probably. I think everyone knows that, optically, they can't afford *another* shutdown.

I don’t think so

It's more about Stonewall Trump with his sidekick Grim Reaper McConnell and whether the USA will collapse under them. The Senate and House can work things out other than McConnell who's tied to Trump.

Debt levels are rising fast.

They're probably right-pocket left-pocket attack Social Security to free up the accounting.

Social Security Administration assets are Federal Debt.

The goal is to transfer everything to the rich. US corporations and individuals have been buying up the debt.

Tax cut money bought debt as a direct transfer of money to rich people.

Hopefully no. We need to balance the budget. The marxists and RINOs in congress need to stop acting like we have a bottomless pit of money; we don't.

Debt is good! We've a strong economy, we can borrow more :D

That would be the best a most logical outcome. So, lets hope.

You really think China will lend us more money?
