The president and the House speaker are preparing for their first official visit at the White House on Wednesday, ahead of a looming debt crisis.President Joe Biden, right, talks with Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Calif., left, after an event in the Rose Garden of the White House in July 26, 2021.
The federal government reached its $31.4 trillion debt limit earlier this month, and since then the Treasury Department has been takingto ensure the country pays its bills and avoids a default. But those measures could be exhausted as early as June, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says. That means Congress has to act, by either raising or suspending the debt limit. Failing to do so would mean an unprecedented and
Get smart McCarthy. Your caucus sucks. Get help so you can govern from the middle of both sides away from the crazies from both sides of the isle.
I hope they’re referring to billions upon billions of taxpayer money sent overseas even to countries who hate the US.
asmamk inskeep I keep thinking about the lead in to this piece…some vote Yes to spend, but No to pay for that spending! I think knowing who splits their vote is news! Seems indecisive/hypocritical? Can you please publish the names of those lawmakers?
Mafia bosses discussing how to divide up money scammed from US taxpayers...
The best thing about Biden is his obvious innate optimism, faith in fellow humans & in positive outcome while still being able to respectfully call out obvious bs. I don't agree with all he says or does, but that is a remarkable trait to have.
Easy cut military budget. They got the biggest budget
Oh? No kidding.
Rip medicare and social security, hello new taxes on the poor
Democrats have done enough damage
Cut the current pay rates, and benefits packages that elected officials get. Show us your serious. Stop living like kings and queens while telling the rest of us to cut back.
Like salary and benefit paid to Mr. Santos?
Anyone else wish they would televise President Biden's 'now listen up, Sparky, this is how this is going to go' chat with little Kevin?
This is just a stupid PR stunt. There is nothing serious about Kevin. So I will just roll my eyes and scroll by. POTUS is correct to treat it as a stunt.
Great, Kevin. Cut military spending in half.
Biden is senile
Nope
The national debt level rose by $7.8 trillion during Trump’s four years as president, nearly 25% of the current $31 trillion in national debt. GOP SpeakerMcCarthy stop grandstanding and pay your bills!
$140 billion for Ukraine. Americans on the street. Start there.
Cutting wasteful spending can start with the defense budget
Wasteful spending = McCarthy and most Republican Congressional salaries.
Ha! Wasteful government spending? How soon McCarthy and the GOP forget that during their recent 4-yr tenure in the WH they managed to increase U.S. debt more than any other presidency? He has no room to negotiate.
WastefulSpending 👉 Subsidies to companies with tens of billions of dollars in profits. e.g.: Exxon et al.
If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, every single wealthy hundred millionaire Republican’s portfolio would be so adversely affected they’d all jump off of the top of the capitol building. Unless Biden actively wants to cut Social Security and Medicaid… why would he meet with him?
Cutting McCarthy's salary would be a great first step. Why pay someone to lie & deal with GOP liars & frauds?
Biden won’t budge. Kevin will cave.
It’s always hilarious when republicans perpetuate all the deficit spending and then stand on the house floor with their hands in the air screaming “how did this happen” as if they had nothing to do with it despite the documented history that proves otherwise.
Wasteful spending 👉 lifetime payments to former house, senate, and executive members.
America does not negotiate with terrorists, foreign or domestic.
Good luck, Joe. Kevin is an empty suit.
Maybe now we see the deals the Speaker struck to get his job; or maybe we will see the Rs budget. We will see!
McCarthy has no control. He is a puppet for the extremists in his party.
