The White House says President Joe Biden “looks forward” to sitting down with new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to discuss a range of topics, including perhaps the thorniest challenge confronting Washington this year: raising the nation’s debt limit.
One hitch: That statement Friday came with no actual invitation to the White House, and no date nor time for a meeting.
Rather, the White House again emphasized that Biden is not willing to entertain policy concessions in exchange for lifting the debt limit…
[According to this AP report] McCarthy, R-Calif., and his new majority in the House have said they will push changes, such as overhauls to entitlement programs, in order for Congress to raise the debt limit….
This could be the Congressional battle of the century—and a political mine field.
McK, as noted elsewhere, it is time to grow a pair. Tell the old pedo that there will be no discussions on any topics except impeachment unless any debt relief includes a provision mandating an annual budget. No more spending and printing without an accounting.
Then, take a vacation. Shut it all down.
Oh dear. I long for the good old days when everyone was focused on the same goal of greater freedom and liberty for all citizens.
Now it's half the people working on accumulating useless junk and worthless money, one third totally zoned out on Chinese made drugs and the last six trying to maintain the last shred of liberty we still have.
