Behind the scenes
quote:
Two former GOP treasury secretaries held private discussions this month with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hoping to resolve an impasse over the debt limit that now threatens the global economy, according to four people aware of the conversations.

The previously unreported talks involving the GOP economic grandees — Henry Paulson, who served as treasury secretary under President Bush; and Steven Mnuchin, treasury secretary under President Trump — did not resolve the matter and the U.S. is now racing toward a massive fiscal cliff with no clear resolution at hand.

It's not going to work. There is no budging McConnell. No norm that he vigorously asserted in the past binds him to anything in the present. Honesty and consistency aren't important in his public statements.

He wants to force Democrats to do this alone so he can run against "DEBT" in 2022, knowing full well that his party has been a huge debt machine over the past forty years.
