Yellen Continues to Hound McCarthy About the Ceiling Debt, Ignores Biden
On Monday afternoon, Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen once again sent a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), cautioning him about the increasing risk of the United States defaulting on its debt unless Congress passes a bill to raise the nation’s debt limit. Even though the bill would also need President Joe Biden’s signature, Yellen has consistently directed these letters to McCarthy, despite him and House Republicans already passing a bill that raises the debt ceiling and prevents default.
