Show Notes

"To wit, we have raised the debt limit 22 times from 1997 to 2022. Yep, we’ve raised the limit 22 times in 25 years. Let that sink in for a moment. OK, so now that we’re all on the same you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me-with-the-endless-and-reckless-spending-of-the-US-Government page, let’s dig into the mechanics a bit." – James Lavish We've hit the awful, shocking, totally unexpected debt ceiling again!
