#shorts On 5/23/2023, House Majority Leader Scalise said, “We’ve seen it for months and months, going back to February when Speaker McCarthy got his first meeting with the president, laid out a list of things that we would do to address the debt ceiling, but also address the nation’s spending problem. And let’s keep in mind, when the country hits the debt ceiling, it’s in essence because the credit card in the nation got maxed out. It got maxed out because Washington is spending more money than it takes in. So of course, we say make the minimum payment.

But you also, any family would also get control over spending rather than just give another credit card to go max out. And that’s really where we’re at, a crossroads in this negotiation. President Biden hasn’t taken this seriously. He took almost 100 days off in refusing to negotiate with the speaker. We didn’t take any time off. We actually went to work, saying if the president is going to just sit this out, try to run out the clock, and create a debt crisis in America.
