‘I Cannot Save This Republic Alone’: GOP Rep Threatens to Martyr Herself and Resign Over Debt Legislation

If she was really serious, she'd put forth a resolution to repeal the 2017 tax laws that gave $1.5 trillion to the ultra wealthy, increase corporations taxes to pre Reagan days, and individuals taxes to Eisenhowers day.
Other than that, fuck right off you Mewling Quim.
- I wish more people thought like you do. This is exactly how we go here.
- Seriously. Reverse Trump's bullshit and that's over $200b annually we get back.

These people really don't understand the difference between household budgets and sovereign nations, do they? Does she think a bank is going to repo an aircraft carrier or something?
- They really don't and if you tried to explain it they would ignore you and change the subject.
  
  Exactly. I learned that it is a waste of time to try to have a discussion with this kind of person way back in the 80s. They’re willfully ignorant.
- They largely don't understand the role of government spending in the economy. These folks barely understand econ 101.
- They know, they just don't care.

Get rid of the debt ceiling and move those debates to where they belong, in the budget.

Someone tell this worthless person that national debt does not work like personal debt, and that the debt of the world's reserve currency is even more different.
As a Republican, you're not saving the Republic at all, bless your heart.
- Resigning would be the closest any republican gets to “saving the republic.”
- While national debt doesn't work like personal debt, I still isn't good and our country's national debt and the rate at which its increasing should be a concern. We had a few countries in recent years demonstrate on a very small scale its problems... see Greece for instance. As the world's largest economy the US wont have anyone to bail us out like the EU very painfully did for Greece.
  The US should be rolling back the Republican-era tax cuts to stop the hemorrhaging.
  
  As long as the United States continues to make payments on its debt obligations, there's no real reason why anyone wouldn't still lend it money. After all, the only reason to not lend money is if the lender believes the risk of non-payment is too great, and if that ever happened there's probably a great many more worse things going on (like the US not being a functional country anymore.)
  This I don't know for certain, but I would guess that Greece isn't a comparable hypothetical to the US, since Greece as a member of the Eurozone uses the euro as their currency and thus can't control it the same way the US controls the dollar. Also doesn't Greece have similar issues with tax-dodging as the US?
  The US should be rolling back the Republican-era tax cuts
  On this we completely agree.

So she's upset that Republicans passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 under Trump that added $2.289 trillion in new national debt, right? Right?!
- You just don't understand. Tax cuts allowed job creators to create more jobs. Tax cuts are like printing money for everyone in the whole country. Do you know what we need to solve the debt crisis? More tax cuts! Maybe we eliminate the IRS altogether.
  /s
- Probably mad about the two Trillion dollar giveaway called the Paycheck Protection Program that Trump signed.

Oh no!
Anyway

I live in her district. She is an obvious Russian agent. I got a call from her campaign before her first election and they asked me "How important is improving trade and diplomatic relations between the US and Russia to you as a voter?"
- The most important thing! Behind voting reform; behind protecting people's rights; behind weath inequality; behind healthcare; behind green initiatives; behind infrastructure; behind judge appointments; behind funding for social programs; behind reform of the prison system; behind living wages; behind...
  And then finally relations between US and Russia. On second thought, nahh I don't really care.
- she doesn't event bother to affect her speech pattern, I saw a clip of her the other day speaking like a russian plant in congress and its fucken outrageous shes that brazen and no one seems to care?
  
  She's Ukrainian... That's just the way she talks.
- She is an obvious Russian agent.
  She's literally a Ukrainian immigrant who advocates against Russia.
  
  From the far, far eastern provinces of Ukraine.
  (For those who aren't aware: those were filled with Russian agents paid to move there to help the take over)
  
  them terroruzzzkies are sneaky like that

If Congress does not pass a debt commission this year to move the needle on the crushing national debt and inflation, at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024, I will not continue sacrificing my children for this circus
Ahh. So she's one of the child sacrifice Republicans
- Arent they all? They're pro birth because you need em alive for the sacrifice.
  
  At this point, I think Republicans just hate the concept of life.

She won’t resign. It’s all standard GOP theatrics.
- Unless she finds a better-paying gig on OAN.

I'd prefer that she self-immolate on the floor of congress. Make a real statement.
- Nothing says “I’m serious” like self-immolation.

"I will not continue sacrificing my children for this circus", I'm really glad for her remaining children. smh

If Congress does not pass a debt commission this year to move the needle on the crushing national debt and inflation, at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024...
She is priming for public support to force the US to default. This will be either to extract concessions from opposition in Congress (like a hostage negotiation), or to create a global economic catastrophe. Or both.
Of course, she will not resign. She swears a false oath. This was a winning strategy for them in June. Naturally, they will try it again.

Every Republican who resigns from politics should be given a check from Crime Stoppers

Good. Resign then

Boy, that picture of her is a meme diamond in the rough. You can see her lizard skin poking through the human costume!

Martyr? Please proceed.
- Right, you promise??

Good, resign and have a stroke

Bye bitch.

Do it!
(She won't do it)

Don’t let the door hit…. Uh… Scratch that.
Perhaps a minor concussion might improve her though processes.

I can tell just from the thumbnail she's a Totally Normal, Not Insane Person. Yikes.

She’s trying to become an anchor on Fox, I guarantee it.
- Fox viewers can't understand her.

it's 50-50 without clicking through that she's trying to save us by a) voting to raise debt ceiling or b) voting against raising debt ceiling.
- It's worse, she wants us to end government spending (you know that pesky Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, social security, welfare, food stamps...but not defense spending, go figure). And since she's a rich Republican she can't see the glaring solution of taxing the ridiculously fucking rich people to make up the difference. So she's throwing a little temper tantrum. And the democrats are eating popcorn and watching as the GOP sets their hair on fire. 😂

Goddamn she’s overdramatic.

Why so much wailing over debt? I bet people like this Karen would have their heads explode if they were made to learn about MMT.
- MMT is, in fact, the problem, and a dumbass shell game history will rightly mock in the luxury gay commie future.
  Or we'll be too busy fighting over water holes to worry about it in the post apocalypse, you know, whichever happens first.
  That doesn't mean her screeching has a point, since she doesn't actually have a solution that won't make everything a hundred times worse and the con only falls apart when the suckers smarten up anyways.

Bye Felicia

and our children will be ashamed of another worthless Congress.
Asked further what she thought about global warming, Spartz yelled, "YOLO" and shotgunned a tallboy of PBR.

Please go full ashli babbit.

at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024
Yeah, so basically long enough that nobody is going to remember this and she is going to George Costanza her way back into the office.

Don’t threaten everyone with a good time…

Sparz is probably looking for reasons to resign since she barely got 50% in a House district Republicans have held for decades.

One has to wonder if she approved of the 2 trillion trump/gop tax cuts.

Rep. Spartz also swears to unfollow you guys if you don't listen to her. She swears.
- All those bulging, throbbing veins on her face. An explosive persona on full display, you don't need any audio.
  
  She follows a very studied method; manic and frenzied shrieking always lends credibility to one's point of view
  
  Apoplexy?
- Reminds me of those people on Reddit that would comment "unsubscribed" anytime they saw something they disliked. It's like, just do it. Nobody cares.
  
  Exactly what I thought too.
