Some Democrat leaders have acknowledged some of the losses in the debt ceiling negotiations and have urged their fellow members to vote “yes” anyway.

According to Congressional reporter Max Cohen, former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) has been urging his colleagues to vote “yes” despite some of their misgivings.

From what I’ve read, conservatives got the bad deal.

"But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation." -Ben Bernanke (14th chairman of the Federal Reserve 2006-2014)

Total farce. Back to the drawing table. This agreement is great for the Marxist Rats.

[SuperLuminal]

Because they realize, as usual, that the feckless GOP once again agreed to a compromise that advances the communist agenda...

Section 271 ends the payment suspensions on student loans after 60 days.

Biden apparently will still able to honor his student loan voter bribe offers that got him elected in 2020.

Who would be surprised if McCarthy gave them more than they axed for?

What defeat ?

Apparently:

The SNAP work requirement would gradually kick in for people under age 51[FY 2023], 53[FY 2024] and 55[FY 2025].

SNAP work requirements would end for homeless folks, veterans, and kids who were in foster care (and remain under age 24 or any state set age).

[Brian Griffin]

I’ve been a lazy layabout.

Please throw $20,000 at me (as if I was a Democratic voter).

[plain talk]

McCarthy says he won and the dems say they lost. Seems backwards.

No matter what they say it is likely that WE lost.

[dfwgator]

Even if we “won” we’re still going over the cliff, but the speed might be a little slower.
