U.S. will hit its debt limit Thursday, start taking steps to avoid default, Yellen warns Congress

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/13/us-will-hit-its-debt-limit-thursday-start-taking-steps-to-avoid-default-yellen-warns-congress.html

I hope the Freedom Caucus in the House of Representatives takes full advantage of this and blackmails McCarthy into pushing through Defense cuts, and blackmail the Dems into cutting off Ukraine aid, or the Freedom Caucus will default the USA! I wish the MAGAcels good luck and hope they r*pe the Dems and Biden into giving them everything.

A handful of House Republicans filed legislation this week that would freeze United Nations funding for the next two years and use that money to finish work on a wall on the southwest U.S. border.

>The Close Biden’s Open Border Act, from Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., would raise an estimated $22 billion for the border wall, as the U.S. government contributes about $11 billion per year to the U.N.

>Good said repurposing the U.N. money makes sense because of prior reports indicating the U.N. is funding nonprofit groups in Mexico to help migrants make the trek through that country to the southern U.S. border. A report last year from the Center for Immigration Studies, for example, said these U.N.-funded groups are coaching migrants to talk about government persecution in their home countries, in a bid to help them qualify for asylum in the U.S.

This is the most r-slurred debt baiting and they always do it. It's in the fricking constitution that USA has to pay its sovereign debt if they dont pay anything else the bondholders will always get the bag.

I just downvoted your post.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your post and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a post to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Rudeness towards other Redditors,

  • Spreading incorrect information,

  • Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Reddit?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making posts like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my post deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.
