(#4631) An agreement on temporarily extending the debt limit this morning

      Chuck Schumer, the democratic Senate Majority leader, this morning on the Senate floor, told us that a short term agreement had been reached with the obstructionist moscow mitch mcconnell and his lock step republican party. That moscow mitch mcconnell was the one who created the drama of a default so that he could wrangle a talking point in the coming election against democrats caved when real pressure from his wealthy donors hit him. We as yet don't know the details of the deal that was made to extend the debt ceiling until early December, but it was negotiated through the night last night so I expect that democrats came away from the negotiating not under the boot of moscow mitch.
     That the republican party would have taken us over the cliff of economic doom over the fact that republicans didn't want to pay for their spending when trump was the appointed president speaks to how despicable they have become and how little they care for our democracy. Well for now that has been averted and in about 2 months we will be right back here in desperate straits if we don't figure a plan now for taking care of the debt limit before early December. Which I do believe we will do this time knowing that republicans are going to derail any attempt we have at including them in the process.
     If it isn't clear to most voters that the republican party is a dangerous and illogical party then we are all in for a hell of a mess come the next election. With the ignorant stances of Manchin and Sinema for us to deal with, the idea that we democrats can overcome the republican sabotage of our democratic society becomes that much more precarious. We democrats have a real dilemma on our hands. First we must rebuff all the republican attempts to subvert our society while also bringing our party to an agreement where real solutions to real dangers can be turned into law.
