McCarthy: ‘Any Default’ on the National Debt ‘Would Be a Biden Default’
Breitbart ^ | 05/23/2023 | NICK GILBERTSON

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Thursday that President Joe Biden would be responsible for “any default” on the nation’s $31.3 trillion debt after he “ignored this debt crisis for more than 100 days.”

There are 9 days left for Democrats to meet the deadline, but since President Biden ignored this debt crisis for more than 100 days—make no mistake—any default would be the Biden Default. https://t.co/P5YOjE5PbC

“There are 9 days left for Democrats to meet the deadline, but since President Biden ignored this debt crisis for more than 100 days—make no mistake—any default would be the Biden Default,” McCarthy tweeted. It came soon after his office issued a press release emphasizing that Biden “refused” to negotiate with McCarthy over that time:

Well why doesn’t McCarthy take the time and use it instead to get the videos of J6 into defendants’ hands?!!!

AP-NORC poll (5/11-15/2023):

A whopping 63 percent of Americans want a debt ceiling deal that includes measures to decrease the federal deficit. That compares to just 19 percent who want a debt ceiling increase to be passed without any conditions.

https://apnorc.org/projects/few-are-following-the-debate-closely-but-most-want-congress-to-increase-the-debt-limit-with-deficit-reduction-conditions/?doing_wp_cron=1684589990.0328559875488281250000

Overwhelmingly, Americans don’t want a dirty debt ceiling bill, which would be one without conditions.

McCarthy should be out there every day highlighting every scandal in this admin. Talk about the 87,000 IRS agents that are coming for the middle class.

Guy is less in the public eye than FJB.

Yes that’s true.

McCarthy can say that if we had a default it would be a Biden default. And while there would be truth to that, unfortunately, any default is going to get blamed on Republicans.

The “Biden Default” should be the label.

The “Schumer Shutdown” was effective which is why the Dems ended up balking to get that slogan out of the narrative.

I suggest audit SS and strip it or it’s soush for being. Especially because trump plans to pay people to have children instead of fixing the problem. His big gov big pharma spendathon must end also.

The default will happen in order to usher in the new currency.

It’s quite possible the Democrats want a default that they and their media can and will blame on Republicans.

We’re practically in a recession already and it’s only getting worse with the fascist policies of this administration.

This coming default will be the scapegoat, so to speak, for their failed policies.

No such thing. The government takes in more than enough each month to cover the interest on the debt and all of the important things. Just not the liberal shit. Scare tactics.

If Congress did does not raise the deb ceiling at all there would only be default if Biden chooses to withhold payment of existing interest on the Debt. Payment of that interest coms first. Welfare and everything else comes after.

Debt Ceiling should be frozen and then reduced annually by 1%.
