A bipartisan "debt ceiling" charade!

Simple 3-part solution:

1) STOP payment on salary checks to all 3 branches of the Federal government, starting at the White House, all 535 "CON"gressional members, the 9 unethical Supreme Court justices, the Cabinet talking heads like A. Blinken at State, J. Yellen at Treasury, L. Austin at War Dept.(euphemistically renamed Dept. of "Defense" in 1947 for public consumption).

2) Impose a mandatory 3- to 6- month hold on all payments to weapons makers, until a thorough independent audit of all non-bid and cost cover-run contracts has been completed, and stringent "claw back" provisions enacted.

3) Repeal immediately the T-Rump era tax cuts(more than $5 Trillion!) given to the top 1/2 of 1% of income earners. And reinstitute a truly progressive income tax policy, to increase revenue from the heretofore tax delinquents.

Voila! U.S. taxpayers will see the fastest resolution of this false, bipartisan "debt ceiling" deadlock!
