Wouldn’t a lack of unity and discipline within the Republican caucus be *good* news, at the margin, in terms of hopes for raising the debt ceiling?
@felix What’s happening now is precisely what we’re worried is going to happen with the debt ceiling—a small group of nihilists preventing the orderly functioning of government. Also, to resolve the impasse, McCarthy is offering the nihilist more power to prevent things like raising the debt ceiling. So I think it’s worrying.
