It looks like the chaos monkeys in the House are willing to walk right up to the edge of defaulting on the nation's debt and then go over the cliff, all while yelling vile insults at the rest of us. Meanwhile, even the mainstream media seems willing to play along with Kevin McCarthy's caucus and put some of the responsibility for this mess on President Biden.
In what can only charitably called a budget bill, McCarthy would have the government slash discretionary spending by as much as 22% in the first year and limit spending increases to 1% per year, which is a defacto cut. Of course the Speaker won't name the actual programs facing the ax. To do so would put the onus on Republicans. Regardless, the whole debate is pointless. Congress authorized the spending last year. It is now time to pay the bill. So, do it.
