#Bipartisan #Carbonbombs: Freezing the #defensebudget makes far more sense than freezing #domesticspending, and would allow for #reevaluating the #OperationsAndMaintenance budget as well as setting #realisticpriorities in a hardware #budget out of control.
The simple fact is that mindless #militarization is being challenged by neither the #Congress nor #TheMedia.

For Biden, the deal avoids the headache of another #DebtCeiling debate this term, while staving off Republican demands for steep cuts to #DomesticSpending. McCarthy gets a deal that curtails #FederalSpending & increases some work requirements in #FederalAid programs, such as #FoodStamps.
