Congress allocates, executive administrates.

How does limiting the amount of debts the Treasury can accrue on money already earmarked for spending pay anyone's bills?

The simplest answer is to say that the money is earmarked for spending, but not payment. Think that Congress spends the money and Treasury pays for it. Some bills are due and payable this year, a year from now, 5 years from now, etc. Plus, income, or taxes raised, are also veriable.

In any case, the debt limit has to be raised in January and Trump is none too happy about it.

The Debt Limit is placed on the Treasury to allow them to pay for money already spent by the government. Essentially, it limits the amount of debt the Treasury can draw down on. Without it, the bills aren't paid.

When Jimmy grew up his house didn't have electricity or running water. Or malice, as it turns out.

Presidents work out their funeral plans in detail and they are held in archives. They can also be changed. The government pays for all of this.

I'll let them know

So bad that it won the Nobel Peace Prize, which is better than theuniqeone prize so I've heard.

I wonder if the Blue Angels have already made their way to winter camp in California. If so, they're going to have to light some fires.

Tradition says that all former President's and their spouses attend the state funeral. Tradition also says that Carter could invite anyone he wants, or not invite them.

Keep going. Be sure to add Egypt. And Isreal

The media had a big hand in Reagan being elected over Carter. Every newscast every night had a clock on the number of days the US hostages were held by the Iranians. This was a constant reminder on what was perceived as Carter's failure. So much so, that Reagan sent George Scholtz, to Iran to make a deal for them to keep the hostages until after the election. Which was the begining of Iran-Contra. Anyway, that was the real reason.

Again, the point is that he is the only one who beat Trump. You can form as many reasons for him dropping out and I'll probably agree with most of them, but that fact remains.

He was a Very Good Man! History will look back on him very well. RIP Jimmy Carter!

Doesn't matter what your formulation is. Fact remains that Biden is the only one who defeated Trump. BTW, if what you say is true, why would that fact exist? Biden was Obamas VP.

Neo Nazi rubbish

Wrong. Try again. I'll help. Obama served two terms. Then Hillary didn't beat Trump. Then Biden beat Trump. Then Harris lost to Trump. Just say'in
