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.

Every department in the federal government with exception or two should take a 10-15% haircut. A few should be eliminated altogether.

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid should be restructured in a way to ensure their survival, but also ensure everyone has skin in the game.

It’s time to STOP this out-of-control spending.

Of COURSE it does!!

It's like the old bear skinning joke.

The WH should have its funding lined up BEFORE it signs off on all the crap it wants to implement.
