The GOP will sell out like they have in the past. McConnell has a spine given to bending over at a high cyclic rate.

Most of the time McConnell and the GOP disregards what their voters want and provide enough votes to the Dems’ agenda. We’re suckers to keep voting for the repubs.

I agree with the sentiment but....

People’s retirements and pensions are in bonds to a certain extent. And you can’t go back to a gold standard on the current dollars because then people will be fleeced (again) by having to pay gold dollars for fed notes on any debt.

The only way to fix the problem is to set interest rates and stop spending on debt by printing more and more money.

But I think the government has gone past the point of no return 20 years ago.

Just my opinion.

The only other option is to let Democrats control everything. And they are far, far worse.

No, the real solution is to stop re-electing Assistant Democrats and replace them making the GOP an actual opposition party.

Schumer wants to eliminate the “debt limit” altogether, which of course would open the door to runaway inflation and destruction of the currency. McConnell wouldn’t go for that but he will give a lot in what will be billed as “ a bipartisan compromise.”

Indeed. So what is the way out?

Do statists/leftists/democrats say - "you know, we've had a great run, spent a lot of money, and incurred a lot of debt, to build our political base, and have all the social programs we need. Let's just stop here?"

Or, has this only whetted their appetite for more?
