Agree, it is a kabuki exercise, but it can be used to extract concessions. Actually, there is no danger of default. There is enough cash flow to pay annual debt servicing costs. It is so-called discretionary funding shortfalls that cause the government to shut down.

Discretionary funding has never been the problem. It's all the welfare and woke spending the dirty dems want. If they don't get every last thing they want they will default and could not care less.

The media always supports them. We don't have a chance. It always happens at the very last minute and will this time as well. It's the only way they win.
