As the supreme law of the land, the Constitution has greater weight than the debt ceiling. President, your oath to uphold the Constitution takes precedence. My advice to Joe Biden: Ignore McCarthy and the Republican radicals. Yet now, Kevin McCarthy and his band of Republican radicals are demanding that in return for their agreement to raise the debt ceiling, Biden and Democrats make drastic cuts in programs Americans rely on - in everything from from public safety to health care to education. After all, Democrats joined Republicans during the Trump administration to raise it three times, even as Trump and the Republicans enacted a major tax cut for big corporations and the wealthy that caused the nation’s debt to soar. President Biden rightfully says that raising the so-called debt ceiling should not be negotiable. If House Republicans refuse to raise the limit on the amount of money America may repay on what it owes - the deceptively named “debt limit” - they might force the United States to default, pushing interest rates into the stratosphere and shaking the world economy.
