Sounds like a lie because there should be no debt ceiling to negotiate. But Trumps K McCarthy is always more money from your table is better. Just like trumps math dodge on Social security by paying these border crossers to have babies thereby enlarging the Ponzi scheme.
A common sense audit of SS spending and eliminate every payment for those under the age and stripping out the slush fund would be a common sense approach.
If McCarthy wants to keep his job, he needs to get all the concessions the Conservatives are demanding.
