Lawmakers close to deal to avoid default
Senator Charles Schumer, a Democrat, told CNN: “Default is far less of a possibility now than it was even a day ago because the leaders are talking, and talking in a constructive way.”
Oh no.
We’re doomed.
If Schumer calls it constructive, that generally means the Republicans are busy caving in…. again.
UPDATE: This summarizes nicely why Schumer, et. al., are so willing to call the agreement “constructive.”
