Yez of 314, the Nasr 117, the bill has passed.

You could watch the House floor yesterday and say, wow, this is a bill that was brokered

by negotiations on both sides.

It's getting bipartisan support.

It's going to pass the Senate.

This is a good day for American democracy.

Rachel Siegel is an economics reporter for the post.

And for the last couple of weeks, she's been on the hill.

And that's because of the debt ceiling negotiations that nearly brought the global economy to

its knees.

So yes, Rachel says, this could be seen as a good day for democracy.

But also...

There was negotiating over the debt ceiling in the first place, which a lot of people

argued should never have been the case.

And this is something that is just a part of governing.

But in divided government, we of course cannot allow the perfect to be the enemy of the

good.

This deal fails.

Fails completely.

And that's why these members and others will be absolutely opposed to the deal, and

we will do everything in our power to stop it.

There were a lot of really sour feelings about why we were even there in the first place
