National Debt

On Thursday, CNN News Central discussed President Joe Biden’s low approval ratings and the even lower approval rating of his management of the economy. They subsequently covered Fitch’s downgrade of the U.S.’s credit score from an AAA to an AA+ on Tuesday because of “deterioration in governance.” Instead of linking the troubling economic conditions to Biden’s policies, CNN quoted…

Thursday’s Morning Joe featured a defensive segment where host Joe Scarborough and President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass teamed up to shove blame on Republicans for the recent credit downgrade of the United States received from Fitch.

Seeking to promote the lie that national debt doesn’t matter and that “Bidenomics” was working, Haass and…

During a discussion on former President Donald Trump’s latest indictment related to January 6, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle went on a bit of a digression on Wednesday’s The 11th Hour to discuss Fitch downgrading the U.S.’s credit rating, which according to her was caused by “was the chaos created by the GOP” including January 6. Of course, Fitch’s own explanation was a little bit more…

On Tuesday, the credit rating agency Fitch Ratings downgraded the United States' credit score for the first time since 2011 due to the mounting debt and federal government disfunction that has occurred during the first two years of the Biden administration. Of the "big three" evening news broadcasts, only NBC Nightly News bothered to cover the credit downgrade. 

A USA Today columnist broke the leftist media ranks in a scathing criticism of “Bidenomics” on July 6.

The New York Times editorial board seems to have rediscovered basic economics: excessive federal government borrowing is “unsustainable.” Thanks, Captain Obvious! 

On Sunday afternoon's edition of Inside With Jen Psaki, the former Biden White House Press Secretary turned MSNBC host took to the airwaves whining about congressional Republicans like Speaker Kevin McCarthy getting credit in the media, and in official Washington, for working out an agreement with President Joe Biden to raise the debt ceiling. Proving that she is still essentially a…

Social Security is toast. So is Medicare. Too many of us old people live longer, so there are not enough working people to support us. Soon both Social Security and Medicare will be broke. Our politicians don’t have the guts to do anything about it. Or even talk about it. It’s easy to see why. Recently, France’s president, trying to keep his country’s pension system from going broke, raised…

This week, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden cut a deal to raise the debt limit. The breakthrough came after three months of Biden pledging not to even negotiate over the debt limit. Instead, Biden was forced to concede to a 1% cap on increases for non-military spending, a cutback on IRS funding, a clawback of some unspent COVID-19 allocations, and addition…

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough brushed aside Joe Biden's Close Encounter of the Sandbag Kind. Instead, in absurdly glowing terms, Biden toady Scarborough hailed the prez's deal with McCarthy as a monumental, Reaganesque, achievement.

CNN’s Friday edition of Inside Politics turned into a Biden 2024 ad as host John King previewed Biden’s Oval Office address on the debt limit deal by asking his assembled panel if he could make “centrism, compromise sexy.”

“Thieves! Fire! Murder!” This exclamation uttered by Radagast the Brown in the movie The Hobbit was not too far off from MSNBC’s Alex Wagner’s characterization of the GOP House Freedom Caucus members who opposed the McCarthy-Biden debt ceiling deal on her eponymous show on Tuesday night.

How trustworthy is Joe Scarborough when he starts telling stories about his lecturing private lunches from six years ago? Today, Scarborough claims he told then-Congressman Mark Meadows back in 2017 that the House Republicans need to focus on spending less government money. But that's nothing like what he said on MSNBC in 2017, when he said the Trump budget was "nothing less than hateful."  …

Shortly after recommending that President Joe Biden sign a fiscally irresponsible debt limit deal, the great minds at The New York Times pushed for what even Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called a “constitutional crisis.”
