Biden passes bill and America WINS .....again !

The Calm Man in the Capital: Biden Lets Others Spike the Ball

...but Notches a Win

NY TIMES, June 2 -

WASHINGTON — In the days since he struck a deal to avoid a national default, President Joe Biden has steadfastly refused to boast about what he got as part of the agreement.

The strategy paid off with a strong bipartisan vote by the House on Wednesday night passing the deal, which will suspend the debt ceiling while imposing spending restraints for the next two years. The Senate followed with passage of the bill late Thursday, with similarly bipartisan support.

The president’s approach to the negotiations — and especially their aftermath — reflects a half-century of bargaining in Washington. When someone has been around as long as Biden has, resisting the temptation to spike the ball and claim victory can be critical to actually securing the victory in the first place.

@fubah2

 Both sides are economic terrorists, the politicians do the work for the terrorist groups but you are seriously kidding yourself is you think right vs left makes any difference with budget abuse.

Depends what kind of "fuzzy math" you use.

Does the agreement do anything to reduce our gigantic debt ?  Why doesn't this concern any of you folks on the left ?  It's like it doesn't exist to you people.

Fact  

Two distinct ways to add to growing debt:

1/   increased spending.

2/   reducing treasury income (ie. massive GOP tax breaks, failing to properly tax the uber-wealthy, failure to catch tax cheats like trump et al.)

trump regime ADDED about 8 TRILLION to our national debt in just 4 years -- the highest "rate" for any presidency -- despite campaign promises to not only reduce the debt but actually  boasted he would wipe it out completely, IF ELECTED!

Furthermore, much of the spending in the Biden admin resulted in the first year as a direct result of  that tump/GOPcatastrophe which the failed trump regime left for Democrats to clean up.......... AGAIN!

This too is historical fact.

 The Times lays out the details well... but the "win" here is a win for America

(avoiding imminent "MAGA-republican-induced" default)

Would have been a disaster for America if the MAGA fascists had their way.

But the Biden team thwarted their evil plans to destroy America and blame the democrats.

But it came close!
