Senate leaders reached agreement Wednesday to avert a threatened Treasury default and reopen the government after a partial, 16-day shutdown, according to a Republican senator who also said the House might vote first on the plan to speed its approval.

John, it’s an ‘alert’ that popped up on C-Span about Cruz.
Even cruz believes the media when the media say there is a crisis. the media lies there is no global catastrophe looming, there is n’t even a crisis as there was never a threat of default
we are done.all we have left is Cw2 but all are too scared.

That's what politicians do, all of them.
On the larger scale it is an iterative process. There’s more than one way to be rid of mediocrity (or, and this is actually preferable, force it to improve).

Do NOT Deal, Congressman Wenstrup, Ohio 2nd!
no a filibuster would show everyone that not raising the debt limit didn’t cause the global catastrophe the media and Obama has been saying not raising the debt limit would
Cruz caved . he believes the media lies

plan developed by 14 senators to avoid default

the 17 trillion debt. the final plan evidently

Cruz could hold things up for a few hours or days at most. He made his argument and his point is clear, but until we clear out the Rats and GOPe we won’t win.

it’s time for third party

And continue to leave the borders wide open.
