I'd say what they get ready for the next battle.
With -- debt ceiling.
Deal at the the backdrop and this one if you thought the last what was going to be.
You know what was was cut -- was pushed up against the wall was was tense.
This one will exceed your expectations.
Because.
You know this one is for real the last almost kind of made up this one is.
The last one was self imposed it was a fiscal cliff that lawmakers made up themselves.
You know they've they've made it so that it was so bad that they were never going to -- go to that point and and they did.
And then they they basically.
-- wanted.
This time there's no contact something have to happen for the government has -- start shutting down.
To to be able to pay bills.
So we will get to a point where this standoff is for real and from everything we're hearing house Republicans are ready to make.
This damned if they don't see significant cuts.
Being made from the White House point view.
It's almost falls all of us.
-- both sides -- He got in both sides have -- dig.
Stake in this spending over the years I mean -- Republicans.

That's not accurate it's it's both parties -- but but now.

And -- don't have territory Aston everything the administration wants so.
Pollution -- -- -- -- -- the standoff there.
Yeah I mean -- these Republican lawmakers were elected.
Some of them but big majority.
And they were not elected to raise taxes they were not elected.
To increase spending and frankly that's what they just did with the fiscal -- deal that that just went through.
And so.
I think that they're looking at this this time is as their.
Chance to make their stand and and you're right the White House in the present are saying this is what we want to get done this is what we wanna get through and ideologically they they don't believe that this is the time that could be cutting back significantly ought not government that think.
That that cutting government too fast it would be bad for the -- I've done so much like me.
We're gonna have a dog Dennis -- of all are Republicans and Democrats -- -- -- -- so.
I'll think credits.
That is all about money and that is not -- money it's all about -- told about their money it's all about.

So lot of so I don't see how are you get but not change in a culture Washington -- they ever did by.
All they ever reach and of accommodations of -- -- -- -- You're exactly right there's got to be a major sea change of the way Washington works and there's no sign -- -- that is in -- The offerings you know I mean.
It did just did not in the -- No wind up -- -- some kind of deal Renault about about it.
But it'll just be business users -- thanks.
-- -- I think you're right but in the in the process of getting there we're going to have the same kind of drama -- he get.
You know that it takes -- to get to that point and there will be a lot of talk about what government what part of government will shut down.
Bill will also be -- this is important about default.
And -- you know makes a really good point and that.
That the country will not default on its on its debt on foreign debt because that's the first thing.
That as a country we we have to pay.
And the tax receipts coming yen will cover what we -- -- so that's not going to technically have to.
So you'll hear that word default.
Thrown around and and that's really not possible.
What will happen -- will default on obligations.
That we have promised to all kinds of people but it's a choice that the government will make what it decides to not pay.
