Who's claiming victory after debt ceiling bill passes through Congress?

President Biden will sign the debt ceiling bill and address the nation Friday night, a day after Congress passed a deal brokered by Mr. Biden and House Speaker McCarthy. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion reports on which lawmakers are taking a victory lap on Capitol Hill after the nation avoided default.

Politicians are the only people that can hold a press conference or go on air to proudly announce that they did their job. "Hey, look guys, I did my job, I did what you guys elected me to do!", proceed to pat self on the back. Imagine your plumbers or taxi drivers do that.

I know who will not be claiming victory, the American people. Way to keep getting us deeper into debt.

The power in America comes from the people...the government doesn't need to be any bigger or stronger. (Aka politicians richer/Americans poorer)

IF you are sick of the drama of the debt ceiling, email your senators and representative and ask them to get legislation together to get rid of the debt ceiling garbage. I have

Are American taxpayers getting a fair deal in this?

Really? Do we need to take score now? Politicians whether Republican or Democrat have a fundamental responsibility to to the people to get this done. I suppose if there’s a winner it’s the people. Now let us get on with the work of taxing the filthy rich.

They need to come together sooner. They should always be working together for the American people.

This government hasn’t been for the people for a long time

[cindystoon]

And the people demand that everyone who voted yes to this bill we have the right to know

It’s not even a competition, but Americans lost.
