Two Republican members of Alabama’s congressional delegation said Monday that President Joe Biden should negotiate in good faith over the debt limit.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said the nation could default on its debt as early as June 1 if Congress does not vote to raise the debt ceiling, currently $31.4 trillion. With a high-stakes meeting set for Tuesday between congressional leaders and Biden, the two sides remain far apart.
“If you buy a car, you are expected to pay the monthly payment,” she said at a White House press briefing. “If you buy a home, you are expected to pay the mortgage every month. … Let’s look at Congress for a second. This is spending that they’ve already done.” “They got in there. They had tough conversations,” she said. “They said we have to be responsible with taxpayer dollars.”
“He has a Republican House,” she said. “He does not have the 60 votes he needs in the Senate. He has to be a true leader, which means he comes to the table and has a tough conversation to figure out how we move forward.”
