Yeah, it passed. Only victory here is that House won the vote. Little to reduce debt, and frankly, it amounts to nothing more then spend on. Folks going to hang their hat on 2024 when in 2022 we blew it. Our country is going to experience difficult times over the next 18mos+ and you’ve highlighted many of them in your videos. Thanks Lena.

No one should put China or the Feds in control of our money or monetary system..that would say to all Americans that it's a mean of controlling our finances and privacy ...I would say chuck China and the Feds and foreign control of our banking system.

Was there any real doubt that they were going to raise it again? They always do. I love how Yellen conveniently added on five more days, after shouting from the rooftops for a while that it would be June 1st. But clearly a deal was made so they pushed the arbitrary date back for an arbitrary debt ceiling.

I wouldn't say the House passed it "virtually unanimously" Lena - the Repuglicans had a 47% OPPOSED vote and the Demoncrates had over 25% OPPOSED votes...
