GOP Speaker McCarthy Allegedly Caved And Debt Ceiling Deal Was Reached Through Handshake
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Friday that negotiators “made progress” on an agreement with the White House to raise the debt limit as they race to close out a deal ahead of a looming deadline to avert a potentially catastrophic default.
McCarthy told reporters at the Capitol that there is still more work to do.
The two sides are narrowing on a two-year agreement that would curb federal spending and lift the borrowing limit ahead of a deadline as soon as June 1 when the Treasury could run out of money to pay the nation’s bills.
President Joe Biden and the Republican speaker hope to strike a budget compromise this weekend. Any deal would need to be a political compromise, with support from both Democrats and Republicans to pass the divided Congress.
A person familiar with the talks said the two sides are “dug in” on whether or not to agree to Republican demands to impose stiffer work requirements on people who receive government food stamps, cash assistance, and health care aid, some of the most vulnerable Americans.
Yet both Biden and McCarthy expressed optimism heading into the weekend that the gulf between their positions could be bridged. A two-year deal would raise the debt limit for that time, past the 2024 presidential election.

McCarthy was installed (just like Biden) because he is of the deep state. Does anyone doubt that the Democrats will get what they want, in the end?
If McCarthy caved I hope they remove him as speaker I hope its not true but I will bet it is .I have been afraid of this all along but of course it could be a communist lie just to get guys like me all pissed off if its true I am done to hell with the RINOs and to hell with the communists .Let the revolution begin,
Both sides will end up griping and life will go on.
