Trump Calls For Abolishing Debt Limit: 'Smartest Thing' Congress Could Do
The president-elect floated the idea a day after he came out against the bipartisan spending deal to fund the government and avert a shutdown

President-elect Donald Trump said he supports abolishing the debt ceiling because it's the "smartest thing," a day after scuttling a bipartisan spending deal that would have averted a federal government shutdown in two days.

Trump informed Republican lawmakers about his opposition to the 1,500-page bill put together by House Speaker Mike Johnson after billionaire Elon Musk, whom Trump named to run a government efficiency panel, criticized it as full of Democratic giveaways.

In his Wednesday message, Trump pushed for a "clear" spending bill that increases the debt ceiling.

On Thursday, the president-elect told NBC News that he would be fine with ditching it all together, saying it would be the "smartest thing it [Congress] could do. I would support that entirely."

Rand Paul floats Elon Musk for Speaker

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Elon Musk serve as Speaker in a Thursday morning post on X following contentious debates over the continuing resolution (CR).

“The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress . . . ,” Paul wrote.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said she would be open to supporting Musk to replace Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a post quoting Paul.

“I’d be open to supporting @elonmusk for Speaker of the House. DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning in Congress to enact real government efficiency,” Greene wrote on X.

“The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday. This could be the way,” she added.

Merry Christmas!
 
I'm really hoping for a big raise in my Social Security checks under Trump. How else will I ever be able to afford my Trump guitar, gold basketball shoes or bible? I'm sure he can get Mexico to pay for a Social Security raise!

Don't forget Trump cologne.
 
President Musk tax plan would increase taxes on everyone earning less than $300,000 a year. Which I am guessing is all of us. High incomes get $4 trillion in tax cuts.

Sorry, @riverman but looks like you won't be able to afford Trump sneakers, Bibles, guitar, watch, cologne....

Hopefully they'll pass the Social Security Fairness Act.

darn!
 
President Musk detailed what he opposed in original spending bill. Congressional pay raise, funding for stadium, blocking"investigation" of January 6 committee and bioweapon labs. But none of those things are even in the bill.

Congressional Republicans opposed disaster relief, lowering prescription drug costs, and pediatric cancer research. Tax cuts for the rich good, helping children with cancer bad.

It wasn't just pediatric cancer President Musk demanded be removed from budget. He also demanded removal of funds for breast and cervical cancer detection and preventing premature labor, flick, it's just women. Also rural broadband.

Think carefully. To appease world's richest man, unelected by anyone, Republicans are ready to let children get cancer and babies die. Because they are so pro life.

And rural broadband would make starlink less valuable.

There should be guardrails in place to prevent this.

Ted Cruz is a sad man. Continuously kissing the ass of the guy that called his wife ugly, blamed his father for the JFK assassination, and called him Lyin Ted.
