Kevin, you☝️ seem to believe we're fools, backing a man who sought to dismantle the U.S. Constitution to usurp an election he lost. Remember your oath, Kevin: to defend that Constitution against all adversaries, foreign and domestic. Stop blaming the media for our divide, Kevin. Instead, examine your own role in reinstating a man who's pushed our nation to the brink. If you can't see the peril in Trump taking our most secret defense documents or fail to recognize the threat of storing them in a public country club restroom, potentially compromising the tireless efforts and lives of countless intelligence gatherers, then, Kevin, you clearly don't deserve your security clearance. We are not fools, and you'll find out when the 2024 elections come around.

The same Republicans who provided $1.7 Trillion in tax cuts for the extremely wealthy are now proposing to offset these costs by slashing funding for social services, meals for underprivileged children, and healthcare for our veterans. I would prefer to see my tax contributions used to nourish our fellow citizens and children, rather than subsidizing the luxuries of the super-rich like private jets and yachts. If our nation defaulted on its debt for just about a week, we could witness the loss of nearly a million jobs, pushing the unemployment rate up to 5%, with the economy bearing the repercussions. Such a debt default could push our economy into a downward spiral, upsetting the stock market and increasing the borrowing costs for both businesses and the average American. The potential effect on Social Security payments is worrisome, given that it affects approximately 66 million beneficiaries, including retirees, disabled workers, and others. In 2023, retired workers are ONLY receiving an average monthly benefit of $1,827. This could render many of our esteemed seniors homeless. A significant spike in unemployment, particularly at a time when the economy is already grappling with inflation. The potential consequences range from a recession to sustained damage to the U.S.'s position in the global economy. A default on our debt could essentially unleash an unmanaged economic catastrophe. The aftermath could be a shocking increase in unemployment rates, exceeding 12% within six months, and a shrinkage of the economy by more than 10%. Small and medium-sized businesses, the backbone of the American economy, could experience irreversible harm. Republicans appear willing to gamble with our lives, a fact we should not forget when the 2024 elections arrive.

WRONG! The situation here admits no negotiations. It concerns the fulfillment of your financial obligations. It's to pay what has been spent by Congress. That's precisely why, without uttering a single protest, Republicans have increased the debt limit 49 times while a Republican president was in office. Just as you wouldn't inform your credit card company that you're withholding payment until you've balanced your budget, an action that would result in your account closure and credit score damage, you shouldn't imperil the U.S. economy in a similar fashion. You're essentially playing a game of financial Russian roulette with our credit and retirements. It's imperative to raise the debt ceiling immediately! xitter.cf/parkerpbutler/st…
