More questions I've asked of Ben Cline No answers yet

To Ben Cline: As you and I both know, Republicans, when in control of government, have never refused to raise the debt ceiling, even when the policies of Ronald Reagan, G.W. Bush, and Donald Trump were sending America into regions of unprecedented debt, mostly because of “trickle down” tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations (many of whom get out-right subsidies paid for by middle cast taxpayers like me). Therefore, I have no doubt that you will break with your Mike Johnson “led” party and vote to raise the debt ceiling and protect our economy and your constituents from the negative impacts of defaulting any time in the future. After all, why be a representative of people in your district and collect a salary if you don’t vote to fund the government that PAYS you? By the way, spare me the “conservative fiscal wisdom” of paying as you go. Our government has already spent the money that these budgetary bills address. Have YOU ever borrowed money for a car, tuition, or a house? Did you pay it back, or did you decide that you’d default on your already accrued debt and somehow, just “start over”?
