Debt ceiling negotiations between the White House and congressional Republicans took on a new, harder tone this week after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy signaled that he was not willing to compromise with Democrats over a list of GOP demands.

McCarthy often equates the U.S. national debt of $31.4 trillion to individual consumer debt. He argues that if you go"over your limit" on personal credit cards, then you, and by extension America, need to"spend less in the coming year than we spent this year."

Biden has countered this demand for steep cuts to domestic programs with a proposal to freeze this year's spending levels next year, but McCarthy has so far rejected that. Roy's list of demands contains four additional items. Each of them on its own represents a red line for the White House.
