White House: POTUS Biden has learned from GOP 'recklessness' over debt-ceiling talks
McCarthy has framed the meeting as the White House's first concession, but Biden aides this week sought to undermine that contention by calling on the speaker to commit publicly to avoiding a default and to release his own budget."In 2011, the Obama-Biden administration negotiated in good faith, but congressional Republicans' recklessness caused a historic blow to our economy," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.
Jean-Pierre described Democrats acting to avert"unnecessary danger" after the United States's S&P Global Rating was lowered in 2011 from AAA to AA+ , despite the debt ceiling being lifted. "When they talk about Medicare, Social Security, we're talking about programs that they want to take hostage, that's going to affect taxpayers, that's going to affect seniors, it's going to affect veterans," she said."It is their constitutional duty. They should be able to do this without conditions."
McCarthy told reporters before the meeting he had"a big plan" concerning his approach to Biden, having spent the past couple of days speaking with his relevant committee chairs and his conference more broadly."The first question is, does the president want to continue reckless spending or find a way that we can be responsible?" he asked."Sit down and find common ground where we put ourselves on a path to budget. Make a balanced budget.
