The thing I likes best was how he blindsided Ryan. Ryan the moron was out there an hour before criticizing this exact deal suggested by the Dems.
He had NO idea it was happening as he spoke.
Love seeing him get punked in public.
Has anybody on this thread actually tried to argue that a 3-month extension of the debt ceiling is a good thing?
I’ve seen a lot of “this sticks it to the republicans who wanted a long-term debt increase”.
But where is the argument that doing this every 3 months is better?
We made that argument during Obama years, precisely because the debt limit gave the republicans power to force Obama to agree to their demands.
Which is why the democrats want it short now, because it gives them power to demand things every few months.
But why would the party in power want to give their opposition that opportunity, rather than resolving the issue?
