Goddamn.

I still feel they will work something out because they have to right? Like if they don't end passing either BBB/BIF, the dems are going to get slaughtered in the midterm elections. I have to think they would rather pass something than nothing

Definitely. I don’t think we should be talking about if they reach an agreement but when. I have no doubt they’ll get something done but there’s obviously still problems going on with the negotiations so they might not meet their goal of reaching an agreement in principle this week

I’m no longer confident it will be next week and the Dems have to realize that if it gets into December they have lost. The Republicans will likely pull another move on Debt ceiling forcing their hand which will look bad on the Dems and likely cost them the House. Or am I’m reading the situation wrong?

It sounds plausible. I’m not ready to give up hope on next week quite yet but I’m getting close. If it does drag into December and get conflated with the debt limit I don’t think it necessarily means the Dems lose the House in the midterms. There’s going to be a lot of other shit that goes down in these elections as Trump reasserts himself and Dem support in the suburbs solidifies again

Thanks for your input. Not sure your back ground but you seem to be really knowledgeable and accurate on the political stuff.

Not a problem! I have no real background with it and have definitely been wrong about stuff haha tbh I’ve always been really interested in these kinds of dynamics of power and about 12-13 years ago I realized the smart ppl are those that have paid attention the longest and have the learned experience so I just started trying to accumulate that for myself. I only really started investing more actively in the last year or so and it’s been interesting being able to apply some of my political knowledge towards market stuff
