#shorts On 3/6/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “One on the note of the budget proposal. This is happening — he’s unleashing or unveiling this proposal under the shadow of the debt ceiling and, you know, since — February was the last time, according to House Speaker McCarthy, the President sat down with the Speaker to talk about some type of deal. McCarthy says he rejects, you know, a clean increase without some concessions or spending cuts. Is the President going to come back to the table with McCarthy to talk about it? What’s the plan here?

KJP: He never came to the table to negotiate on the debt ceiling. That was not something that occurred. That is not something that’s happening. We’ve been very clear we’re not negotiating around the debt ceiling. This is something that Congress needs to do … this is something that we believe that should happen without — without conditions. And so, that’s how — that’s how we’ve been moving forward. We’ve been very, very clear about that …

Reporter: Secretary Yellen, though, has been sounding the alarm. She says we’re about three or four months away from, you know, true disaster here. Is that not at all concerning that, you know, there can’t be some deal?

KJP: Yeah. And that should be concerning to House Republicans. It should be.
