Florida and the entire country deeply concerned: United States Debt Limit, House Begins Debate on Bipartisan Agreement to Avoid Default

(By Juan Maqueda) The agreement between the White House and Republicans to raise the US debt ceiling cleared its first legislative hurdle on Tuesday as a House committee allowed its debate to proceed starting Wednesday in the chamber.

This step, necessary for the House of Representatives to vote on the agreement, was achieved despite resistance from some of the more radical members of the Republican Party. They have criticized the plan, believing that it does not achieve sufficient cuts in public spending.

"I want to be very clear. No Republican should vote in favor of this agreement. We are working hard to make sure it is stopped," said conservative lawmaker Chip Roy, one of the voices speaking out against the pact, during a press conference.

The House Rules Committee agreed by a vote of seven in favor and six against to advance the legislative process.

If passed, the compromise reached over the weekend between US President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican, will raise the debt ceiling for the next two years, extending beyond the upcoming presidential elections.

In return, the White House commits to reducing spending levels and introducing some requirements for food aid programs and vulnerable families.

Congressional approval of the agreement is crucial to prevent the country from defaulting on its public debt after reaching the debt ceiling in January, the legal limit on the amount of money the US can borrow to fulfill its obligations.

Lawmakers have until June 5th to pass the measure in both chambers, which is the date the Department of the Treasury estimates the country will exhaust its reserves.

The agreement has faced criticism from some of the more radical members of the Republican Party, who have called for its rejection, as well as from some progressive members of the Democratic Party.

However, it enjoys the support of the leadership of both parties in both houses of Congress.

During a press conference on Tuesday night, several House Republicans expressed their support for the proposal and expressed confidence that they will have the necessary votes to move it forward on Wednesday.

"There were members this morning who were undecided and had very valid questions. They received the information, and tonight they said they will vote in favor. I think we will continue to see support grow; that's what happens with all major legislation," said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

Conservatives also argued that the proposal is just the beginning of an offensive to limit what they perceive as excessive spending by the Biden administration and the Democrats in Washington.

Lawmakers have until June 5th to pass the measure in both chambers, which is the date the Department of the Treasury estimates the country will exhaust its reserves.

Reactions:

Members of the Freedom Caucus, representing the more right-wing faction of the Republican Party, called on the media to rally their ranks against the legislation aimed at avoiding a sovereign debt default.

"I had no idea that there would be such a short-lived and noxious plan like this. I will vote 'no' and urge my colleagues to vote 'no' as well," added Andy Biggs, who last week introduced a bill advocating for utilizing unspent allocated funds, such as COVID relief, to postpone the date of the likely default and continue negotiations.

"Negotiating does not mean completely ignoring what we had approved," criticized Congressman Ralph Norman.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert agreed that the House had done its job and that neither President Joe Biden nor the Democrat-controlled Senate had done theirs. "If every Republican voted according to what they campaigned for, they would vote against this bad agreement tomorrow," she argued.

Un colapso del tribalismo fanático ideológico está atacando (y matando) a todo lo que se enfrente a la militancia de izquierda (¿Por qué?)

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control. Este mecanismo, descrito por el neurocientífico Marco Iacoboni en "Mirroring People", es el arma secreta del populismo del siglo XXI.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor. En los mercados modernos, la probabilidad de recortes de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal y otros bancos centrales convierte las noticias macroeconómicas negativas en catalizadores alcistas. Paradójicamente hay mucho de positivo en todo esto, y no.

Asesinan a Charlie Kirk, aliado de Trump, en tiroteo durante evento en universidad de Utah: reacciones y claves del crimen

(Por Taylor-Molina) El gobernador Spencer Cox (Utah) califica el hecho como "asesinato político"; Trump ordena banderas a media asta y promete "justicia". La comunidad internacional está conmocionada. La paradoja es que tanto se dice que la derecha, los conservadores, los libertarios atacan a la prensa, hoy una vez más, todo pensador, esta vez un comentarista y miembro activo de los medios,  defensor de la familia,  del matrimonio, de las libres ideas, de la fé judeo cristiana, del respeto por la mujer,  por los niños, por la libertad, es asesinado.
