Everyone seems to miss the point that the house is arty passed legislation to raise the debt ceiling, it’s up to the Senate to pass, or reject it, and for the president to sign it or not. If they rejected, then the house just needs to pass it again and send it back up. They have the power of the purse if they’re willing to have a little spine.
The only certainty, is any default or government shutdown, will be blamed on Republicans.
Yes, the House has passed a bill, and apparently the Senate and Chuck Schumer don’t even want to consider it. But the facts don’t matter, in the Democrat and media commentary on what’s going on.
and did the repubs put anything decent in it like defunding NPR? Of course not.
