John,



While there is nothing transformational in the debt ceiling agreement
announced between President Biden and Speaker McCarthy, it's a positive
development that both sides have found common ground to help protect America's
economy.

As I posted on social media last week, a compromise that doesn't make anybody
happy is usually the solution. The question now is if both sides can continue
to work together to get enough members of Congress to support the deal. I am
optimistic that they will be able to do so

Those of you who remember the Reagan presidency may know that Democrat
Speaker Tip O'Neil and Reagan were able to find common ground on many major
issues. This is how Washington is supposed to work, everyone giving a little to
achieve a solution, and I'm glad to see this latest hopeful development.

I wish though that the agreement would have included a mechanism, such as a
bipartisan panel or Presidential Commission, to help Americans understand the
looming crisis of the long-term debt and entitlement issues. The more debt we
have, the higher the interest payments will be on that debt, and the more
strain that puts on America's spending priorities. It's not sustainable.

Compromise isn't easy, but as I've tried to demonstrate in my time in elected
office, you can compromise on policy goals without compromising your values.
That's what democracy is all about, and it's our only hope for ensuring that
the America we've seen in our lifetimes will continue for future generations. I
discussed this on MSNBC on Sunday morning:

In case you missed it, I recently co-authored an op-ed for Newsweek with
former Democrat Congressman Tim Penny about how both sides can work together to
balance America's budget.Read the op-ed (here)

You can count on me to continue raising this issue and rally Americans to
pressure their elected leaders to put the nasty partisan politics aside and do
the hard work of governing for the American people.



Together, we will continue to challenge our leaders to work toward policy
solutions and needed reforms instead of using issues to divide us.
