so there really isn't a plan "b." the question is, what's the mechanism that gets it across the finish line? and maybe it needs to be wrapped up into one big deal that can be passed with democrat-only votes. if that's what we have to do, i'm fine with that. it's a shame it's come to that. yesterday, every single republican in the house of representatives voted to default on our obligations. 3% of the national debt has occurred during joe biden's presidency, a lot of it under the trump presidency. but they want to forget that and force a default, to have the u.s. not pay its bills, to push us into a recession. people across the spectrum, in industry and in in workplace all know this is a stupid thing for republicans to do, but republicans embracing stupid. >> congressman john kildee,
