It’s indisputable that Joe Biden’s classified documents fiasco is getting tons of attention. Another thing that’s getting tons of attention is the debt ceiling limit. That won’t disappear anytime soon. Actually, the debt ceiling won’t disappear as a topic until Biden negotiates a deal with Kevin McCarthy. That deal must include spending cuts in future budget cycles. That’s the only way this works.

Daniel Henninger’s weekly column lays out why it’s required. Henninger wrote “Joe Biden promised normalcy. This spending isn’t normal, and the American people know it. If Mr. Biden can’t find the words to talk about it, voters may start looking for someone who will.” Earlier in the article, Henninger wrote “The spending rivers included a bipartisan Covid-relief bill of $2.2 trillion; the American Rescue Plan’s $1.9 trillion, and then a bipartisan infrastructure bill of $1 trillion. Mr. Biden’s 2023 budget proposal was for $5.7 trillion. In December he signed a $1.7 trillion spending bill.”

This isn’t normal by any stretch of the imagination. This is historic spending without a legitimate reason.
