Biden says “I think we can reach an agreement” on debt ceiling negotiations

U.S. President Joe Biden spoke about the debt ceiling while attending the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan on Sunday. The president called on Republican leaders again to move towards a deal and listed several of the GOP's proposals which he considered to be too extreme.

But he remained optimistic about reaching a deal saying “I think we can reach an agreement.”

Meanwhile, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy commented on the negotiations in Washington, D.C. on Sunday saying that he had a "productive" call with Biden, and said he and the president and their staffs plan to meet Monday afternoon.

McCarthy said he wants to spend less money than what was spent last year and added that "nothing has been agreed to.”

Biden should ask Trudeau about how to make the budget balance itself.

Cut your spending and layoff a good chunk of useless government jobs. Then simplify the tax system to a flat tax.

One thing i have done is stopped buying made in china products.
I have also switched to buying Canadian, UK, German, Italian or American (democratic nations only writ large) made goods.
I won't buy that cheap prc garbage anymore that breaks after a month requiring me to go out and buy another cheap prc made item like the last.
Buying local puts more into the local economy. Buying from our allies puts more into their economies.

Isn't it obvious that it isn't sustainable to continue borrowing money forever and never pay it back? We should try living within our means....

The irony, this meeting taking place in one of the sites of the biggest war crime in the history of mankind, an atomic boom boom purposely dropped on civilians.

All the billionaires will move to China ! We need to reduce spending, fire the 1800 hired to be armed for tax tax collection . Get more jobs generated for the unemployed and don't just tax the rich . They worked hard and provided work for many.
