White House calls for debt ceiling hike ‘without conditions
The Hill ^ | 01/13/2023 | BRETT SAMUELS

The White House on Friday called for the debt limit to be raised without conditions, laying down a marker ahead of what is likely to be a bruising fight with House Republicans in the coming months.

“We believe, when it comes to the debt limit, it has been done in a bipartisan way over the years and decades. And it should be done in a bipartisan way. And it should be done without conditions. That is important here,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Jean-Pierre’s comments came shortly after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote to Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to warn the U.S. is projected to reach its roughly $31.4 trillion borrowing limit in less than a week, and the department would have to soon begin taking “extraordinary measures” to buy time for Congress to avoid default.

Those measures would likely buy lawmakers until early June to reach a deal, Yellen said.

Bankrupting the US is part of the plan. The 7 years of the anti-Christ’s reign sure seems to be coming.

What has Mitch and his Senate friends said about Biden’s Classified trove?

With Trump, they said No one is above the Law, echoing Dem Talking Points.

Unlimited debt isn’t even given by banks.

Maybe to Musk... nope, he had to dig deep to get funding for TWitter.

Insanity.

The debt limit is a joke...just raise it to 1000 trillion dollars and be done with this farce.

Hopefully the House can address the level of spending issue
and make some impressive headway.
