| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| With just two weeks left on the clock, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is finally admitting that "bipartisanship is needed" on the debt ceiling. But is it possible?

We're going to come together because there's no alternative," agreeing that "it would be catastrophic for the American economy and the American people if we didn't pay our bills.

Republicans described the measure as a "compromise" bill designed to retain the support of their entire coalition, which had recently expanded to give their party a super-majority, while a Democratic senator called the bill "unthinkable and cruel." |
