Biden: ‘Things are going as planned’ on debt ceiling bill passing House
The Hill ^ | 05/31/2023 | ALEX GANGITANO

President Biden said Wednesday that he believes that things are going according to plan so far for the House to pass the bipartisan debt ceiling package despite several Democrats and Republicans vowing to vote in opposition of the measure.

“We’re going to deal with the debt ceiling,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. “I think things are going as planned, God willing.”

Biden said he is hopeful that by the time he lands in Colorado later Wednesday evening ahead of a planned address to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the bill will have passed the House. The vote on final passage is scheduled for roughly 8:30 p.m.

“Means McCarthy was always going to cave”

Let’s wait until later tonight to call McCarthy Ryan light. He’s done well so far.

“We’re going to deal with the debt ceiling,”

There is no debt ceiling in this bill. Literally, it is not capped. It’s not like there ever was a debt ceiling. Every time it is approached they raise it. How in the hell is that a ceiling?

Republican pussies are just as bad as Democrats. I’m retiring the term RINO from my use. The vast majority of Republicans are assistant Democrats. They don’t even rate as a RINO. They are either pussies or assistant Democrats from now on.

‘Things are going as planned’

Sounds like something Klaus Schwab would say.

A "plan" that was hatched well over a month ago.

Any word from Trump on this?

He has time to blast a Fox reporter for citing a poll incorrectly, bt the debt ceiling bill negotiated by his endorsed Speaker.....crickets.

The bill is so ‘bad’ it might be ‘good’ only for the political graveyard, leaving Biden and Schumer to have to accept the House plan.

Ding, ding, ding! A person who gets it!

This bill gives Biden, the democrats and the donor class exactly what they want - NO DEBT CEILING AND NO CAP! The republicans again are unwilling to go to the mat and shut the government down, which is what it will take to merely BEGIN shrinking our behemoth criminal government.

The House republican party is again, controlled opposition and part of the uni-party.
