The RINO wing of the uniparty probably buttoned down the deal weeks ago.
Take it to the very (pretend) brink, get some concession that was added to the budget for this purpose, then congratulate each other all around for their hard bargaining and great statesmanship.
A part of me is starting to believe that crashing the economy is all part of their plan.
Will they start showing that ad where the GOP push Granny off a cliff again ? LOL
Hey, if we let the US Government go broke we can Build Back Better.
Republicans are silent even when the spin is their favor. As usual they are letting the Biden administration and the news media define the narrative.
The GOP should be screaming this narrative:
1). The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power of the purse
2). The House has performed its duty. It has passed and sent to the Senate a bill to lift the debt ceiling.
3). The Democrat controlled Senate has refused to schedule a vote on the House bill. By failing to hold a vote, the Senate is obstructing the lawful Constitutional process and creating a crisis.
The issue today should be the Democrat Senate refusing to act, not McCarthy negotiating with Biden.
Why can’t the Republicans even articulate a message when they have a great story?
Biden is a LYING!
Yellin is full of it.
Treasury’s budget numbers show Biden’s using scare tactics. There’s no risk of default (EmJm Antoni, May 13, 2023)
There was NOTHING ‘bipartisan’ about Biden’s boys spending hundreds of billions of dollars on worthless WOKE projects - we don’t owe democrats the time of day.
They got themselves into this mess with their greed and they can find their way out on their own too.
If the country defaults it’s white liberal ‘elites’ and dependent democrat victim groups that will be hurt. Those are democrat groups. Maybe they’ll have to cut back on the thousands of new IRS agents or the goons and thugs running ‘intelligence’ and the FBI. Again, democrat thug groups.
DC works for the benefit of democrats... and only democrats. Default. It’s now or it’s next year or the year after.
