Kevin McCarthy Gets His Budget

The debt ceiling deal is a victory for the GOP and their cruel and discredited economic policies.

It’s a good thing the Republicans don’t control the White House and both houses of congress, otherwise we might have a budget agreement that freezes all non-military spending, expands punitive and pointless work requirements for people receiving government assistance while not increasing the minimum wage, cuts funding to the IRS making it more difficult for that agency to effectively collect revenue and calls for restarting student loan repayment-all this while only extending the debt ceiling for two years.
