House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is standing firm in his commitment against raising the debt ceiling without budget cuts as the Treasury Department prepares to start extraordinary measures this week to keep the country from defaulting on its debt.
This from Washington Examiner.com.
McCarthy told reporters Tuesday:
We are six months away, approximately, and what I would like to do is I would like to sit down with all the leaders and especially the president had start having discussions.
I don’t see why you would continue the past behavior. […] Who wants to put the nation through some type of threat at the last minute with the debt ceiling? Nobody wants to do that.
McCarthy said his plan is to negotiate a balanced budget with the democrats communists/globalists to start paying down the $31 trillion debt.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are against cutting anything from the defense budget, meaning domestic spending is on the chopping block.
McCarthy said:
Let’s sit down and find a place where we can protect Medicare and Social Security for the future generations, let’s put our house in order in how we are going to spend—and let’s make the investments we need to make America stronger.
His plan to negotiate is the exact opposite of that of the communist/globalist-controlled Senate and White House, where the preferred path forward is to dangerously increase the borrowing limit in an unrestrained manner placing the nation in deeper irresponsible debt.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Friday:
There’s going to be no negotiation over it. This is something that must be done.
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.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned:
[S]hould the limit not be raised, it would result in harm to the economy.
Programs that could be affected include Social Security, Medicare, and military salaries.
Final thoughts: We can all think of a lot of giveaways that should be cut before Social Security, Medicare, and military salaries. Put your heads together boys and girls.
God speed to Conservatism and please HOLD TOUGH Speaker Trump McCarthy.
