Cutting Massive Bill Threatens to Blow Up Progressive Unity

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. The CPC could support Do Less Better, then hold the debt ceiling hostage for the rest

It would be brinksmanship the likes of which has never been seen.

4 strategic members of the CPC in safe seats, along with, say, Sanders in the senate, could refuse to approve lifting the debt ceiling and the continuing resolution to keep the government open.

If climate change is as critical and life threatening as many suggest, then holding the American, and World economy hostage to force congress to pass substantive measures to address it is not unreasonable.

Crashing the world’s economy would hurt the fossil fuel industries and billionaires who are fighting BBB. It would hurt those who have been sending big donations to Manchin and Sinema to block BBB.

The only way to stop the progressives would be for enough Republicans to cross over and support lifting the debt ceiling, which would damage Mitch and Kevin as minority leaders.

Just making a point that Manchin and Sinema aren’t the only ones who can wield power with impunity.
