(AGENPARL) – WASHINGTON lun 08 maggio 2023 Republicans have now pushed the United States to within one month of a catastrophic and unprecedented default on the nation’s existing obligations. Instead of passing a clean debt limit bill to avert this crisis, their continued threats to cause a default could trigger a massive recession that would cost 8.3 million Americans their jobs.
The longer the GOP delays in paying our bills, the more likely they are to drive up the cost of mortgages and threaten people’s retirement savings. The debt ceiling is not a bargaining chip, and Congress must act to cover existing obligations before the American people start to pay the cost of a default crisis.
