Debt ceiling discussions... NOW is our only and final chance to REVERSE the CLOWARD AND PIVEN Bankrupting of West (as happened to Soviets, but we then let them RECOVER and get up from the mat, the Left will NOT allow any such Recovery here) strategy...

First, I deal in REALITY and NOT FANTASY LAND,
there is ZERO CHANCE $pending would be cut/slashed by TRILLIONS of dollars COLD-TURKEY/OVERNIGHT to the point where Deficits will be reduced to ZERO let-alone Budget Surpluses ( and not the FAKE Clinton/Gingrich "deal" kind that just continued Deficits and Debt OFF BUDGET) so-as there would be NO MORE DEBT INCREASING and therefore NO NEED FOR A DEBT CEILING INCREASE. Period!!!

I don't give a shit who you THINK could have been Elected of late (short of a complete 90% cleaning of USHouse and USSenate, never happens, never gonna happen) that would have changed that.

THAT IS THE REALITY, if you cannot DEAL IN THAT then don't bother reading further!!

HOWEVER, there are ENOUGH (just barely, as evidenced by the Speaker fight earlier in the year, and yes I'll get to that again in a minute) to FINALLY USE SOME REAL LEVERAGE TO DEMAND/FORCE some REAL AND SPECIFIC concessions THIS TIME as part of the Debt Ceiling Increase Bill - THAT AGAIN THOSE DEALING IN REALITY ALL KNOW IS GOING TO PASS!!!

Now, I'm not going to go into specifics here, other than to refer back to a RedState piece of mine from/in 2008: <a href="https://redstate.com/diary/jlenarddetroit/2008/10/30/contract-with-america-part-two-n186968" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link">https://redstate.com/diary/jlenarddetroit/2008/10/30/contract-with-america-part-two-n186968](https://redstate.com/diary/jlenarddetroit/2008/10/30/contract-with-america-part-two-n186968) , just to REFER AGAIN to the point that we FINALLY SEE A BIT OF BACKBONE FROM SOME WITHIN THE GOP as witnessed by the Speaker fight ---- and OTHERS in the GOP hopefully LEARNED SOMETHING FROM THAT about "LEVERAGE" and will finally f** use what we have to move that Overton-Window FINALLY a bit back to the Right from the never ending march Left-ward.
