I thought this was the very thing the GOP said the Executive Branch can’t do when they blocked student loan forgiveness.
That was different. See the people trying to do that had D’s next to their names.
I wonder how long before blue states decide to stop paying federal taxes. California basically funds like twelve red states, alone.
I wonder if even some red states would stop paying as a result. I can’t imagine Ohio and Pennsylvania being ecstatic about propping up the Mississipi, Alabama, etc. after California, Illinois, etc. stop footing the bill.
Some said it also implies that Trump, who has threatened to defy decades of accepted law by blocking congressionally approved spending, could go even further — by refusing to honor contracts in which the federal government promised funding for states, cities and other recipients.
Who knew that this guy, who left campaign bills unpaid all over the country, would refuse to pay the government’s bills?
Here’s the thing, at some point he violates so much of the constitution, the document that grants him authority, that he shouldn’t be recognized as in charge. We the people give him the authority.
I’m sure he’ll keep finding ways to pay himself, though.
C’mon, stop debt repayments world wide, i fucking dare you
Stop paying interest on government debt, I double dog dare you
Damn, it apparently still isn’t infrastructure week.
Isn’t this just going to impact the US credit rating, leading to higher borrowing costs and enormous inflation spikes?
I’m having trouble seeing this as anything other than burning dollars to look for pennies.
Oh, and taking over Congress’ role over the U.S. Government pursestrings.
Then it’s a win for conservatives. They burn dollars, we get pennies. And he has to scrounge up the billions needed for his mass deportation scheme which would probably impact labor for some of the projects so another win. No bitching about a missing labor force due to mass deportations.
Big double awesome bacon cheeseburger AR15 American flag win for conservatives…^if ^you ^squint ^really ^hard.
Protip: The superscript tags on Lemmy are like an encapsulation, not like Reddit where you have to prefix every word. Just put 1 caret at the beginning and 1 at the end:
