"There are only two options to deal with the debt limit: Congress can
pay its bills or they can fail to act and put the nation into default,"
said Press Secretary Jay Carney. "When Congressional Republicans played
politics with this issue last time putting us at the edge of default, it
was a blow to our economic recovery, causing our nation to be
downgraded. The President and the American people won't tolerate
Congressional Republicans holding the American economy hostage again
simply so they can force disastrous cuts to Medicare and other programs
the middle class depend on while protecting the wealthy. Congress needs
to do its job."
