Not even close. Magatards fail again. How did that epic ass kicking from Biden feel.

In the end it was not even a close vote.

Biden gave up as much as the Repubs did.

So much for the far right nut cases. On to the Senate!

Biden gave up as much as the Repubs did.

Which is to say..neither side 'gave up' much.

But there sure was a lot of drama!

Something we haven't seen in 14 years, an actual compromise.

The entire ''debt ceiling'' argument is a delusion.

There is always more debt in the system than there is currency in existence to pay the debt. This is by design because Keynesians gonna Keynes.

This is the only relevant thing to understand.

The real majority spoke tonight! The moderates. McCarty would be wise to be the speaker of them and limit the minorities that seek to destroy this union.

The extremes on the right and left lost. I guess trump is disappointed that we are not gonna default.

 

[Natural Citizen]

The real majority spoke tonight! The moderates.

The single-most greatest threat to Individual liberty and peace and prosperity in America today, I'd add.

All in the name of ''unity,'' of course...

It's weird. Every time the purveyors of the party-of-one in Washington invoke that term, the electorate gets screwed.

 

[Moonglow]

No surprise.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No surprise.

I was a little surprised at the margin, I thought it would be closer.

They are ready to go on vacation.

WTF are you talking about? Do you even know?

It was a deal negotiated by McCarthy, although the fact that Drmocrats had to and did help McCarthy pass it probably means Democrats got the better end of the deal.

McCarthy had to make a lot of promises to get the Speaker position. His grip on it is not very secure. If it it is a bad deal and gets passed all the way through he may have just forfeited the Speaker position.

Everything worked out just as it always does with this issue the hyper partisan morons on all sides do their best chicken little the sky is falling routine and a deal gets made and passed.

 

[pknopp]

Inevitable from the beginning.

This is the only relevant thing to understand.

Not to take up for Keynes, but he did not envision borrowing during slow times and during boom times. He envisioned paying back during boom times, not making more debt.

But if he were smart, he would have known what would happen. People praise him, because he gives cover for them to spend like their ain't no end.

Maybe he actually did know what would happen. He said, "in the long run we're all dead." Well . . . he is, and his grandchildren and my grandchildren will pay the price.
