The White House on Wednesday blasted House Republicans for saying they likely won’t introduce their budget before the unofficial deadline for both sides to reach an agreement on raising the nation’s debt ceiling.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates said that Republican leaders every week “invent a new excuse to hide their budget from the American people even while signaling that they would impose devastating cuts to American manufacturing, law enforcement, Medicare benefits, and our ability to block fentanyl trafficking – in order to provide rich special interests with new, deficit-worsening tax giveaways.
“The more urgent matter is to address the debt ceiling and negotiate spending limitations and broader fiscal reforms in the process,” Mr. Arrington told The Wall Street Journal. The report said Mr. Arrington would be disappointed if the House doesn’t pass a budget resolution by the end of the fiscal year in September.leaders to introduce their proposed budget as a starting point for talks on the debt ceiling.
The Treasury Department reached the roughly $31.4 trillion debt limit in January and is now using special accounting methods to keep the federal government from defaulting on its obligations.
