Biden said Monday that he could not guarantee that the federal government will not default on debt payments due later this month. “I don't believe that. But can I guarantee it? If I could, I would, but I can't,” the president said.
“What they’re doing today is so reckless and dangerous in my view,” he said. “Not only are Republicans refusing to do their job. They’re threatening to abuse the power, their power, to prevent us from doing our job saving the economy from a catastrophic event.”
Biden’s admission is the most blunt to date of the risk that the ongoing standoff poses to the “full faith and credit” of the United States and its standing in the global economy. The president said that going through reconciliation is “fraught with all kinds of danger for miscalculation.”urging the president to talk Democrats into going it alone on reconciliation.
Biden told reporters he only received McConnell’s missive “10 minutes before I walked in here,” and his remarks indicated he would be unreceptive to the minority leader’s suggestions. Nevertheless Biden said he intends to talk with McConnell in the coming days in hopes of forging a way forward.
