Biden blasts GOP ‘wacko notions’ amid debt limit standoff
Associated Press
ACCOKEEK, Md. (AP) —
President Joe Biden lam-
basted Republicans’
emerging trade-off plans
to raise the nation’s debt
limit only in exchange for
budget cuts on Wednes-
day, declaring that GOP
lawmakers are threaten-
ing a historic default on the
nation’s obligations “unless
I agree to all these wacko
notions they have.”
His remarks in a union hall
speech came as House
Speaker Kevin McCarthy,
who has struggled to unite
Republicans around his
own budget proposal, re-
leased a sweeping spend-
ing-restraint plan to offer to
the White House along with
lifting the debt limit later
this year.
Cruising toward crisis, if
Congress and Biden can-
not reach agreement on
the debt limit by summer,
the government could be
unable to pay all of its bills
and face an economy- President Joe Biden speaks about his economic agenda at International Union of Operating Engineers Local 77’s training facility in
ravaging default. Accokeek, Md., Wednesday, April 19, 2023.
