Is this the best possible deal for the debt limit?

The preliminary reporting on the compromise looks pretty good to me. The Devil is in the details, of course, but overall I think that the Democrats should accept it.

Let the GOP fight it out in their party and realize that if there is a default—they own it!

So what exactly was accomplished here and what are the implications for the next few years?

1. Twice Impeached wanted a catastrophic default on the national debt limit that he ran up. Had that happened, Republicans would have to own it. McCarthy (and I am certainly NOT a fan of Kevin) negotiated with the Democrats and avoided a tragedy—no thanks to Twice Impeached.

2. A bipartisan solution was reached which bodes well for President Biden and Speaker McCarthy working together for the betterment of our country.

3. Another major data point that any thinking Republican will recognize that their success as a political party lies with dumping Twice Impeached and his “lites” and moving on. He never offered anything but nonsense, lies, and grifting. Let him drown in the sewer of his own making.
