According to McCarthy here the Biden people cracked:
President Biden: I accept your invitation to sit down and discuss a responsible debt ceiling increase to address irresponsible government spending.

I look forward to our meeting.
We’ll see….

Only question is who is playing what role.
We know how this ends.
Biden people always emphasize they are fiscally responsible people…
Probably see this as a prime high profile opportunity to present themselves as just as fiscally responsible as GOP in the negotiations…
Maybe they will give up their domestic fiscal initiatives in exchange for GOP support for their NATO/Ukraine military spending…
Is this a surprise to anyone? Biden has always been a debt-phobe and centrist. Mr, "work across the aisle."
"responsible debt ceiling increase to address irresponsible government spending" = "sound money."
The root is Clintonism, thanks to political consultant Dick Morris. The Democratic Establishment is still under the spell of the Clinton surplus.
This points to a deeper problem with US governance. It is run on the basis of gaining political advantage and not for public purpose or the national interest. National policy and decision making are based on political strategy aimed at the next election.
Actually, Putin pointed this out some time ago, but it is obvious. It also accounts for how politicians can shift principles on a dime.
It’s run for the national interest Tom but the interests vary…
This isn’t Russia…
