Actually, it's more like big spending libs, and big spending cons.

No deal over memorial day weekend? I wonder why?

Of course, because they make up 85%+ of the elected offices in Washington.

I must admit, Biden looks like he came out the winner in all this. Not that the progressive Dems will agree, but given all the various scenarios that could have played out...Biden just saved whatever chances he had of getting re-elected. I think it's McCarthy who's got more 'splainin to do to his party's hardcore base.

I still think there are people in both parties dumb enough not to realize the consequences of a default, so we're not out of the woods yet, not until this clear's the House. Senate will be easier. I expect some dipshit grand-standing from Paul and Cruz, but they don't want to be the ones to tank the economy, so they'll pass it. And ditto Bernie on the other side.

In reality there is only a reduction in the rate of increased spending on the usual BS. Including down the rathole to the NAZI in Ukraine.

Yet some cheerlead as if they WON something? Even worse is those cheering for those lying that they won something while using our Tax dollars? SMH.

If cons win we will get s balanced budget

Actually politicians live today with an eye on their next election. They will say or do anything to get closer to being re-elected (they NEVER think).

McCarthy will never get 218.

Translation: unemployed, no savings, no assets. Voting Commee and watching, hoping for financial collapse so all Evil middle class become poor and hopeless like him.

Boebert is already a hard no.....You can bet there at least a handful of others.

Dysfunction could come home with the chickens on this one. And both sides could be held responsible. It's sort of like the war against Russia for folks like oddball.
