Nothing says “emergency” like “let’s meet sometime next week.”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has accepted an invitation from President Joe Biden to discuss the debt limit on May 9 in an attempt to end the on-going standoff, according to a report citing a source familiar to the matter.
The invitation came after the Treasury Department warned American is set to run out of money by June 1 and default on its debts – earlier than expected – ratcheting up the hear on lawmakers to avert an economic crisis.
McConnell has managed to wrangle a seat at the meeting… likely to ensure that McCarthy is not overly successful in representing the welfare of the American people.
It’s almost as if McCarthy is overseas in Israel for a few days this week and everyone knows that. Making next week the best first available time for him.
