"If you're gonna say to a hostage-taker 'I'm glad I bid you down from $100,000 to return my child to only $50,000,' well that's a pretty good deal I guess, except the hostage is still there." -@BruceBartlett debating @djrothkopf on the debt limit compromise.

@TheDemocrats position going into #2024Election is that they are okay with 1 in 5 Americans being trapped in indentured servitude if it means that they don't have to raise taxes on the %1 Because we know that @POTUS @SecCardona can use the HEA to #CancelStudentDebt all of it now!
The hostage is safe for two years, by which time the hostage takers may be gone. This was a success for Biden, even though everyone knows you don't like Biden.
