White House: Raising U.S. debt ceiling 'not negotiable'
[UPI] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter, close friend of an imaginary negro named Corn Pop. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....
 "looks forward" to meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
 to discuss a range of issues but will not negotiate on raising the U.S. debt ceiling, the White House says.
“Don’t call my bluff.”
House Republicans led by McCarthy have indicated they will seek deep spending cuts before agreeing to raise the debt ceiling, a procedural move which is needed for the federal government to meet its existing debt obligations.

The United States hit its national debt limit of $31.4 trillion Thursday and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen notified congressional leaders that she is implementing "extraordinary measures" to meet those payments.
Pushing off paying bills and playing money games to maximize returns on cash, stopping spending on a lengthening list of optional spending... there are lots of things the federal government can do while the money temporarily stops coming in.
McCarthy in a Tweet posted Friday said he is willing to meet with Bident to "discuss a responsible debt ceiling increase to address irresponsible government spending," but White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre afterwards reiterated there would be "no negotiations" on whether or not to raise the debt ceiling.
