Republicans in Congress have failed us again

Republicans in Congress have failed us again<br /><br />THEY DID IT AGAIN...<br /><br />You're probably getting tired of hearing this, but Republicans in Congress have failed us again. <br />With support from 14 Republican senators, the Democratic-led Senate just passed a bill to fast-track raising the debt limit with only a simple majority of 51 votes as opposed to the current 60-vote threshold.

So holding the debt ceiling hostage was one of the very few tools Republicans had to stop them.<br /><br />Lyin' Republicans: Back in August, 46 out of 50 Republican Senators [including Mitch McConnell] signed a letter pledging that they would not sign a bill to raise the debt ceiling. <br />...and technically the bill they signed yesterday will let them keep that promise. Because now Democrats can raise the debt ceiling by themselves.<br /><br />But we know the truth: By giving Democrats the power to raise the debt ceiling by themselves, Republicans basically voted to raise the debt ceiling. But they think the American people are too dumb to understand what they did. So here are the Republicans who voted to put us on a fast-track to Biden's "Build Back Better" bill:<br /><br />Mitch McConnell of Kentucky<br />John Thune of South Dakota<br />John Barrasso of Wyoming<br />Roger Wicker of Mississippi<br />Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia<br />Susan Collins of Maine<br />Roy Blunt of Missouri<br />Thom Tillis of North Carolina<br />Lisa Murkowski of Alaska<br />Richard Burr of North Carolina<br />Joni Ernst of Iowa<br />John Cornyn of Texas<br />Mitt Romney of Utah<br />Rob Portman of Ohio<br /><br />If any of these people are your senator, I encourage y
