#1 Dems will renege and fuck this up and screw the pooch somehow. In addition, there has been zero interest in the national debt and Federal spending thingies as long as I've been alive from either party; we might as well go titzup financially on Biden's watch.

#2 Replacing Janet Yeltin with Paris Hilton would be an upgrade across the board. We need someone running treasury that understands what it takes to make a venture economically successful.

#3 report by Hotair here

Seems the Republicans got about 60-70% of what they wanted.

One problem if they got a tight spending ceiling is that it would likely lead to a budget bust earlier. This happened back in the Obama years when the sequester mechanism was killed by Republicans with spending agenda.

#5 @#2 - Yellen is a harridan and a scoundrel, and some say her hubby is a Commie.

But say what you want about Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, but how many people at the Fed or Treasury actually have real-world experience in investment banking? Nothing but eggheads with Ph.D.'s but no experience in the private sector.

Yellen was a labor statistician who came through the ranks all the way to Davos.

#6 To me it seems like a cave. If it clears the agenda for some real Congressional action against the Biden family, FBI/DOJ and HSA, I will be less ticked. The rest of the debt ceiling pillow fight will just be determining who needs a primary challenger.
