Biden didn’t understand the lengths to which McCarthy would hold out to get a bill done that was even worse than the best that Biden could have hoped for.
It’t the old Blazing Saddles ruse. I need to really screw over my constituents Joe. Give me a worse deal than that or I off myself and you can deal with the next guy.

Trying to polish this “you know what”. As if 2022 spending was a gold standard to shoot for. Big whoop. Criminals!
