MORE: Biden and Republicans seem set for debt ceiling fight, reviving fraught political battles of years past
"I look forward to talking with you about our Nation's economic and fiscal future. But for that conversation to be productive, we should both tell the American people what we are for," Biden told McCarthy."Well, we were going to do the budget in April but unfortunately the president's so late with his budget, it delays our budget," the speakerLawmakers left Washington on Thursday with no proposal in sight and aren't due to return until the week of April 17.
"It's been three weeks we've had our budget out," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Thursday. "Three weeks, and we have seen nothing from the House Republicans. Nothing."
No don't fall for both siding this. The debt ceiling has always been raised to pay the bills we have already spent. The GOP is threatening our country AGAIN. Responsible media will report it that way.
Don't worry. Soon the dollar will collapse and it all won't matter what the debt was and Americans are going to get a real wake up call.
Acting like this is a problem with both sides is irresponsible journalism. Raising the debt ceiling is a routine thing that's not negotiable and Democrats did for trump multiple times. You all know this. Quit acting like it's both sides bargaining. Be better.
Get rid of Putin at any cost good for everyone.Never mind the direct or the indirect cost
Be tough Joe! Keep swinging your pink purse back n forth!
Biden’s budget
Biden stands strong like steel. McCarthy melts like plastic.
32 trillion national debt! 500 billion a year in interest on debt. CBO predicts if we stay on current spending course we'll reach 50 trillion debt by 2030, at that time the entire federal budget will be consumed on paying for the interest on debt. Intentional or incompetence?
The Republicans need to hold firm against the dictatorship of dementia Joe Biden!
The House GOP will allow the economy to crash upon failure to raise the debt ceiling. The GOP and its extreme wings want chaos and disruption and dissolution to charge to the account of the Dems and construct a new order.
I think McCarthy blinks a lot.
McCarthy can’t anger the Freedom clown show plus he can’t make a move with Marjorie’s approval 😬😬 if does either his days as speaker are over
Biden has presented his budget Kevin doesn’t have a budget So how did tensions boil over when one party has done what was asked and the other hasn’t seems McCarthy is the one who is performing for the MAGA cult 😤
Republicans are just plain me, me, me. Let’s see your DETAILED budget and not a one page summary Kevin. I want to see the pork included in the GOP budget for your big money donors.
I'm sensing an inevitable upcoming cluster f*ck and a GQP elicited national crise on the horizon. Am I wrong here?
I hope you mention how SpeakerMcCarthy has demeaned our President and is willing to let the country burn to the ground to please his corrupt caucus.
McCarthy has yet to present his budget. It’s hard to negotiate when you don’t know what both sides are looking for in an agreement
It attributes a quote to Biden that is actually what McCarthy said, fyi
President (Senator) Biden doesn’t have a temperament that shows some will to accept the will of the U.S. voter. He’s bitter, selfish, and untrustworthy. There are states where he can’t get above a 40% approval and he doesn’t care. He’s arrogant and affluent.
Kayfabe / kabuki theater while they work out the uniparty backroom deal.
Still both-sidesing the republican crap huh ? They raised the debt ceiling multiple times for trump admin.
Stand your Ground POTUS
GQP wants to burn down our country. Fools and traitors.
