[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Democrats put themselves in the current situation. [b]I bet the GOP would be willing to raise the debt ceiling [/b]if Democrats uncoupled the two spending bills, and we're willing to negotiate on the larger one. If they did, then the Democrats could neutralize the Progressive wing of their own party. When it comes to 2022 and 2024, do you really think Progressives are going to stay home or vote GOP?

The democrats already sent a clean bill that the GOP filibustered, so you lose that bet.[/quote]

Wrong. Susan Collins just floated the idea that the GOP would vote to raise the debt ceiling if Democrats would drop their $3.5T package. Obviously this won't happen, so that leaves Democrats to go it alone on raising the debt ceiling - which they can do.  They've had plenty of time to do this, but chose not to do so. Now they're stuck. The GOP is forcing Democrats to choose between loweri or abandoning heir bloated $3.5T bill to get GOP support, or burn their one chance to use reconciliation to raise the debt ceiling.  In both scenarios, Democrats lose. [/quote]
