President Joe Biden will deliver his first Oval Office address as president from behind the Resolute Desk as he seeks to hold up the bipartisan achievement of avoiding a default on the nation's debt.
The speech is set to be a victory lap after the House and Senate on Thursday passed through the budget agreement Biden negotiated with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
It imposes flat funding for the next fiscal year, with a 1 per cent cut the next, while expanding work requirements for food stamps – but also accomplishes Biden's top goal of avoiding default.

Hardly seems worth even discussing since this seems to happen every year when they propose a budget.

Does anybody see any contrast with previous prime time speech logistics...
I mean, when was this decided? I just heard about this 10 minutes ago. Did they know this yesterday? Noon, today?

celebrate avoiding 'catastrophic' default
Most Americans believe this nonsense. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 as a "lender of last resort" and the Fed will take whatever measures necessary to avoid default by the US government - namely, the purchase of US treasuries with printed money. The United States will have hyperinflation, but not default.

Is Biden going to take all the credit and blame the Republicans for taking so long?

Everything he says is a lie including the words a, are, the but, and, is. Mary McCarthy got sued by Lillian Hellman for saying almost exactly that.
But Lillian Hellman died before the suit came to trial.

US Dollar no longer seen as Safe Haven since Biden seized Russian Assets. Makes others thinks twice. Reserve currency status at risk. (20 years maybe?)

I’m not going to listen. I don’t want to hear what someone else wrote for him to say. Let me know if he trips on the way to the podium.

They have him sitting in a chair so he doesn’t fall on his face.
I turned him off

I would rather actually watch a game of the NBA finals that watch or listen to president gasbag. Actually, I think I will just read a book, or sit on the porch with a drink and a cigar, or do literally anything else.
