Breaking news: the debt ceiling is about to crash on our heads!
In a stunning turn of events, President Looney Tunes and House Minority Clown have decided to join forces to pass a debt ceiling deal that will save the economy from collapsing. Or not? According to sources close to the matter, the negotiations have been marked by a series of absurd demands and outrageous proposals that have left both parties scratching their heads. Senator Wile E. Coyote reportedly suggested that the debt ceiling could be raised by detonating a giant Acme bomb under the Capitol building, while Representative Bugs Bunny proposed to solve the problem by simply printing more money with his trusty Acme Printing Press. Meanwhile, holdouts from both parties have been digging in their heels and refusing to budge. Senator Tweety Bird, for instance, has vowed to filibuster any debt ceiling deal that doesn't include funding for his beloved birdseed subsidy, while Representative Yosemite Sam has threatened to shut down the government unless his proposal to turn the White House into a giant saloon is included in the package. As the clock ticks down, the fate of the economy hangs in the balance. Will President Looney Tunes and House Minority Clown be able to corral their unruly caucus members and pass a debt ceiling deal? Or will the whole thing blow up in their faces like an Acme bomb? Only time will tell.
