      (SHORT THREAD) Alright, I thought about Trump's #DebtCeiling deal and I like it. A #DrainTheSwamp, cut-the-BS move.pic.twitter.com/OH8Hqa064A

      The #DebtCeiling is stupid. Raising it pays for spending #Congress already authorized, not new spending. 2/x

      Refusing to raise the #DebtCeiling is like telling your bank "I'm not making the minimum credit card payment, because I spend too much." 3/x

      Traditionally, opposition politicians use the #DebtCeiling to grandstand. Denounce the government for spending too much, raise it anyway 4/x

      But under Obama, Republicans decided to use the #DebtCeiling to win concessions. 5/xpic.twitter.com/6nA7fbfBwM

      Failing to raise the #DebtCeiling = default, which damages America's credibility, and threatens the global economy that depends on it. 6/x

      Prioritizing doesn't work. The US always makes its payments on time to everyone. Always. Failure to do that = default. #DebtCeiling 7/x

          Republicans don't want to default. But they decided threatening something no one wants could help them win concessions. #DebtCeiling 8/x

          Normal negotiations go like this: I want A. You want E. We meet somewhere between B and D. Then we're both happy. 9/x #DebtCeiling

          Default threats are a hostage negotiation: I want A. You want E. We agree Z is bad. But you threaten Z to get E, instead of B, C, or D. 10/x

          #DebtCeiling hostage negotiations are bad for the country. And the global economy. We should get rid of it. 11/x

          To reduce spending, #Congress should budget less future spending. Not use #DebtCeiling brinkmanship to default on old spending. 12/x

          Instead of doing the old threaten-to-default, hostage-taking dance, Trump made a deal to bypass it. #DebtCeiling 13/x

          Aid for #HurricaneHarvey should pass without hostage taking. America shouldn't default. The #DebtCeiling deal does both. 14/x

          Yes, Congressional Republicans wanted to play games with the #DebtCeiling. Yes, Trump's deal thwarts their strategy. But so what? 15/x

          Risking default is bad for America. Trump didn't waste his time playing games with it. Just ripped off the bandaid. #DebtCeiling 16/x

          Now, Trump's talking about eliminating the #DebtCeiling. Good. Decide spending during the budget process, not as a hostage negotiation. 17/x

          Trump will take heat from Republicans for this #DebtCeiling deal. But their strategy was bad for the country. Good riddance. 18/18 (END)pic.twitter.com/Zw1FYllzMT
