The House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, has just come to an agreement with U.S. President Joe Biden to fund the debt limit before the June deadline, avoiding the U.S. government defaulting and its ruining credit rating. I am sure this is a financial relief for all in the States.

The US has just reached the debt limit agreement, avoiding default.
The devil's in the details. I remain unrelieved until they itemize the spending cuts. 😰
I agree; the devil is in the details! At least they are coming to some resolution which I worried about, considering McCarthy has been such a weak leader. They have until June 5th, and Biden held the line on many things with no changes to Medicare or Medicaid.
"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the default," said Jen Psaki, ( Former Biden Press Secretary)
I'm glad to hear Medicare and Medicaid are off the table, but I'm dubious of whether there are enough House Republicans that will be onboard for such a deal.
i am hopeful ☺️
Politics, religion, ....discussed here is a lit fuse on a bomb....
Yes … that ole First Amendment!
I agree. Guidelines state no discussion about religion or politics. Inappropriate.
I miss a good religious debate with jeffrey …..thanks for the well wishes lily …I’m looking for parrot advice if I may ….how do you get 2 screaming banshee parakeets to shut up …besides the fire hydrant trick
I haven’t a clue how to stifle bird noise. Ours are presently making the sounds of a smoke alarm. High pitched screaming. Bill is cooking something and they’ve learned that sometimes the alarm sounds. So they make it happen.
Try playing some music they like Alan.....also a partially draped cage helps them to think it's bed time, it makes them feel secure.
thanks faux they’re outside in a cage so think they’re interacting with the wild birds ….just very screechy
Yep....that's true .... otherwise it's an off-topic discussion that leads to WWIII here, seen it many times. HU has been very tolerant with most of the off-topic stuff over the last few months, which is fine because we need a bit of light heartiness here now and then for sure, but as with my previous family dinners....we are all so diverse, we keep politics and religion off the table of topics for discussion.
🤐lol!
I believe what you all say is correct about politics on the HU website, but as I said in the beginning, "I am sure this is a financial relief for all in the States," especially for many people in this group. We all like the reassurance that our world will hold steady in the future. 🙏🏼
I wish we could talk politics I have a lot to learn but I appreciated the comment letting us know we are safe bc I was really worried
