This is not governing this is class warefare... tax right offs for the rich, while the working class losses more ground.

We need to stop making compromises with people that don't play by the rules.

[olivekatz]

This should have never been a bargain issue

[MorganaBee]

I'm not thanking anybody until i see what's in this "bipartisan agreement".

The fact that one of the two major parties in this country require cruelty to be included in order to pass must pass legislation is abominable.

That might be what we need at this particular moment less than a week from default, but there should be no such thing as a bipartisan agreement or negotiation to paying our bills. That should be understood as it's written in the constitution. These payments and funds were already enacted by congress and the idea that we need to negotiate whether to pay them or not is asinine.

What did the billionaires sacrifice? New year, same trick.

With AMZK22 we gonna have a major run and that's the right way to get out of the mess

[Barot]

The key to remember is the Republicans were responsible for this issue. They will be responsible again when it comes up again.

Joe Biden is an excellent leader. Dark Brandon gets things done. He always acts in the best interest of ALL Americans. I’m so glad he’s President!

[rakesalamander]

bargaining with fascists is always a terrible idea

[jeffdeluca]

There should not have to be a threat of a default. Period

[johnnyd]

We cannot maintain the American democracy if American citizens don’t come out to vote to preserve it. Our enemies are within, we can eradicate them by voting. 💙🇺🇸

Reminder: Every Republican accusation is a confession.

Somehow, this reassurance does not put my mind at ease.

[Jakshere]

He had options, he just refused to employ them. He'd rather pretend that anything bipartisan is a better solution, even when it hurts the very same constituents that voted him in office.

[lindagreen]

We thank you President Biden, always working hard for all Americans.

[carminaburana]

We've dragged ourselves out of worse situations, but by doing basically the opposite of what the Republicans want. Just because something is bipartisan doesn't mean it's good.

[chriskane]

The man knows what he's doing. Help us or get out of the way!

As soon as you sign it, initiate a process to test the unconstitutional nature of the "debt ceiling." Eliminate this risky nonsense.
