@POTUS has been clear that Congress must take action to avoid a default. America is not a deadbeat nation-we pay our bills. Avoiding default is a basic duty of Congress as they did it 3 times under the Trump administration without once creating a crisis. Let’s get this done.
National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard characterized the state of debt ceiling negotiations as "serious" and "constructive," but added that businesses are still concerned “Congress might fail to prevent default, and that that would be catastrophic.”
