Biden's rejection of eliminating the debt ceiling was a dangerous gaffe, and now he has to correct it before it's too late https://t.co/M2HjcAnd3r

To summarize:

1. If the GOP wins the House it can use the debt ceiling to force Dems to choose between an economic crash and massive program cuts

2. The GOP already did this in 2011, so we know they will

3. Democrats can unilaterally stop them, but are afraid of attack ads pic.twitter.com/YneSCmstBG

If the GOP wins control of Congress on 11/8, you'd have to be an idiot not to raise the debt ceiling and take the issue off the table for 2023/24. It's the right move politically and economically.

Unfortunately, though, we're talking about Congress, so there are lots of idiots. https://t.co/3frBrM207p

The debt ceiling has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility. It doesn't control how much Congress takes in or how much it spends.

Rather, it says: Once we hit this limit, we'll stop paying our bills, including our debts.

It's a fiscal time bomb. Keeping it is irresponsible. https://t.co/3W7uK24iYC

Finally: A group of House Democrats is pressuring Dem leaders to disable GOP debt limit extortion during the lame duck. As one Dem tells me, it's insane to expect that a Speaker Kevin McCarthy will buck Trump and the MAGA caucus on this. Disarm them, Dems.https://t.co/EKPplPC2bj

SCOOP: The Biden administration is in early, quiet discussions with key Senate offices about raising the debt ceiling in the lame-duck session of Congress. https://t.co/fWz2qNdKCu

I think this is correct. If Republicans trigger a global depression by breaching the debt ceiling, voters are likely to blame the incumbent Democratic president and elect a Republican supermajority.

It is hard to find a more consensus figure in American journalism than Marvin Kalb, formerly of CBS and NBC News.

He is now telling the American press that its lust to show how it can be critical of Biden is distorting the news and hurting the country. https://t.co/XgRqgoJv4g

If this deal passes, Biden will have inked wins on:

Drug pricing
Climate/ACA $$
Higher taxes on corporations
$1.9T Covid rescue plan
$1.2T infrastructure law
New gun law
Chips/China bill
KBJ on SCOTUS
73+ lower court judges
VAWA re-up
Postal reform

This is not a trivial agenda.

What have we done?

With the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure bill, and the climate/drug bill, in 2 years Dems have invested 2 1/2 to 3 times as much as the ENTIRE New Deal AND Interstate Highway System COMBINED.

1/7

My unpopular take for today is that President Biden has passed far more major bipartisan legislation than seemed possible two years ago, and has vindicated his campaign’s argument that his experience as a longtime senator will help him pursue a successful legislative agenda.

— Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) July 26, 2022

This is such an excellent read by @djrothkopf! It is kind of astounding how little credit Biden gets for all the things he has done right. This is a great example of how hard @POTUS is working to repair the damage Trump did to US interests abroad and set us up for the future! https://t.co/FW8nDXRC6w

What if two years ago, I told you that by the end of Biden's first two years:

– 10 million new jobs
– 3.6% unemployment
– 86% drop in COVID death rate
– biggest ever infrastructure bill PASSED
– first gun safety bill in 30 yrs PASSED

(wait, just getting started…keep reading)

US has countless emergencies. But also true:

-Gas prices falling 6 weeks straight;
-Still historically strong job market;
-Zawahiri;
-Support for UKR;
-Schumer/Manchin/Biden accord
