Remember when the republicans were going to work on the economy -- Now it's just endless culture war investigations over their perceived fantasies 

 

So, now the Republicans want to investigate Jan 6?

Well all know the “Freedumb Caucus” will blow it up.  Trump wants chaos and they do his bidding.  The more chaos that exists the more an authoritarian can come to power.

Sad we are talking debt limit instead of budget.

Just like we did through the Administrations of Bush and Nacho Duce.

So what is you prediction on how it plays out? 

The way it always does. At the last hour a compromise will be reached. Up to this point it’s political theater like it always is.

Economic Crisis averted 

Not yet.  It has to pass the House and if the Freedom Caucus doesn’t like the direction they could force a vote to vacate the Speakers Chair.  
 

people like this have to vote on it….

 

McCarthy continues to appeal to the extremists by attacking Biden, saying inaccurately that the president “wasted time and refused to negotiate for months” when, in fact, it was the Republicans who could not agree on what to bring to the table until April 26. But this may well not be enough; already Kyle Griffin of MSNBC reports that two Republican sources have said that the far right is already balking at the deal and is “plotting ways to gum up passage of the bill or add amendments to make it more appealing to hardliners.”

I don’t disagree and the time to change it is when you go through the budget process.   Limit appropriations then.  
 

This hissy fit is like saying, I’m not going to pay it, when the credit card bill comes due.  It also absolutely says one Congress won’t honor the decisions of another Congress.  Particularly galling consider it was the Republican Congress under Trump they aren’t honoring.  
 

the far left has not hindered the debt ceiling passage.

Nor have they tried to lessen spending.

How much is the right spending?

 

His answer will always essentially be, “I have absolutely no idea, but less. And I will be MUCH more vocal about this when a Democrat is in the White House.”
