The debt limit sprains the both sides brain.

Read Dan Froomkin:

"Extremist Republicans have been enabled by media coverage that tries to split the difference, and treats what is essentially a hostage crisis created exclusively by one side as a normal, two-sided partisan squabble. Indeed, our top political reporters now insist that the onus is on Biden to solve the problem."

He's underrated. Sure, he's geriatric, but look the infrastructure, economy, and much-needed gun control and other well-crafted legislation he's passed.

Better than any Bush, Trump, or other neocon/conservative that's shit on us for Wall Street.

To clarify, I'm a Dem who hates Bush, Reagan, and Trump.
