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.

"Because they usually get 110% and an apology from the GOP."

The FReedom Caucus stood firm........regardess of default.

This may spell the end of McCarthy’s speakership.

We need a speaker from Texas, not California.

If that is defeat I’d hate to see what victory looks like.

Just more smoke n mirrors. They still think we are just stupid minions. This is their deal, not ours. This is what they all wanted. Just trying to glam it up so we think it’s better than it was. And we settle cuz we are prisoners to the tyrannical US corruption.

Breitbart has a story that contains a link to the text of the bill.

It is only 99 pages long. I give Speaker McCarthy credit for two things:

1) A 99 page bill is a vast improvement over the 4,000 page omnibus spending bills of the past decade.

2) People interested in the minutiae of congressional legislation should have time to examine the details.

Congress Releases Bill Text of Debt Deal

I am going to chill out for 24 to 48 hours to give people who are expert at understanding obtuse legislative legal text a chance to weigh in.

It’s a pretty sure thing that if any Democrat votes ‘yes’ on this, it’s bad for America.

Regardless, the can gets kicked further down the road. I may not still be alive when the sh*t hits the fan, but my kids certainly will.

Yeah, this zucks.

You mean “meatless” hamburgers don’t you? Cattle farming is on the chopping block, just look at the Netherlands.

With Dade Phelan as Speaker of the Texas House, you’re right.

Biden is senile.

Praising him is not just wrong, it is comic.

Am I one of few veterans who think adding more bloat to the Pentagon is a bad idea?

It would only mean pennies, but Congress needs to cut by 50% the number of general/flag officer billets in the military. Get rid of the "Mr. Pappys" and their posses.

I'm glad I never served above Battalion level. Being at Division/Brigade staff would be mind numbing.
