[Townhall] Who here is really disappointed with the debt ceiling deal? I know I am, and I have not even studied it in detail yet. Once again, we have to compromise. Once again, we have to swallow something we hate. But what do you expect? We, the Republicans, threw the 2022 midterm elections away. Well, it turns out that elections have consequences, particularly blown ones. And right now, we're experiencing a consequence colonoscopy.I really would have liked the GOP under Kevin McCarthy to force the Democrats to accept a budget deal that achieved all our objectives and focused on all our priorities. Whatever this compromise does — and, as of this writing, I have not parsed it closely — it will not do that. Some people are really disappointed right now. I get it, but I think they should have been really disappointed six months ago when we fumbled the midterm elections. That's when this outcome became inevitable.
Not a lot of hope for the future in the remaining text.
