 McCarthy impresses Senate GOP with surprise wins in debt ceiling battle
by Al Weaver - 06/03/23 6:00 AM ET

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is winning the trust of Republican senators who were skeptical about his ability to lead his caucus and avoid a crisis over the debt ceiling.

Many GOP senators expected President Biden and the Speaker to hit an implacable stalemate that would force Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to step in and broker a deal, as he has in the past.

Instead, McCarthy surprised them and the rest of Washington by passing a debt limit bill through the House in late April — a move that served as a turning point, won goodwill amongst his partygoers in the upper chamber and helped put him over the top last week.

“The unity, the strength of that — I think that gave him great momentum coming into this to get the president to the table,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a former House colleague of the Speaker. “I think he comes out of this really, really strong.”

Meanwhile, right on cue, Schumer rubs it in the faces of both House and Senate Republicans.  Bigtime.  With Democrats taking all credit for getting their bill passed.

Meanwhile, today we have no debt limit at all, which has been the Holy Grail to the Dems they have been seeking for decades.

Yep.  Paul Ryan gave it to them, and now McCarthy has done the same.

It's very depressing.

Most Americans don't appreciate how interest on the debt is going to consume everything. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, defense and all social programs are going to face cuts in the near future.
