Prepare For Another Fight Over Debt Ceiling

Congressman Paul Ryan says Republicans are going to want something in return from Democrats for raising the debt ceiling. That means the possibility of another ugly standoff.

Said Ryan: “We, as a caucus, along with our Senate counterparts, are going to meet and discuss what it is we want to get out of the debt limit. We don’t want ‘nothing’ out of the debt limit. We’re going to decide what it is we can accomplish out of this debt limit fight.”

“The White House has said it will no longer negotiate with Republicans on conditions for raising the debt limit, but many Republicans have said they will only vote to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for budget changes like spending cuts.”
