Didn't Mike Johnson try to raise the debt ceiling soon after Jan 20th, but it was profoundly defeated? And the reason he called for the vote on the issue was because Trump & Musk wanted the debt ceiling increased so they could jam through their tax cuts for the billionaires right off the bat? Could that be the reason for all the draconian slash & burn business that Musk has been up to? To remove taxes rolling into the treasury's coffers so the debt ceiling would have to be raised,
thereby giving Trump/Musk what they wanted all along?
