Biden 'too diminished' mentally to talk debt ceiling: Sen. Ted Cruz
|
[NYPOST] Sen. Ted Cruz;
...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke , who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet...
(R-Texas) said Wednesday that President Biden has doomed negotiations with House Republicans over the debt ceiling because of his impaired mental state.
Cruz told news hounds the 80-year-old president’s approach to the crisis is a far cry from his performance during similar debt limit talks involving the Obama White House in 2011 — and suggested cognitive decline was to blame.
"Vice President Biden sat down with House Republicans and reached a meaningful compromise," the 52-year-old senator said.
"President Joe The Big Guy Biden
 ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
needs to do the same thing."
"Sadly, the reason he hasn’t so far, I believe, is because his mental faculties are too diminished right now to do what he did in 2011, to sit down and actually work together on a solution to the problem," Cruz went on.
"What we’re left with is a bunch of young staffers in the White House — radical children — who are perfectly willing to risk a default on the debt because they have no appreciation of the chaos, and misery and damage a default would do.
"We should not default on our debt, but the present path we’re on is unsustainable," Cruz concluded.
"And Joe Biden needs to come to the table."
On Monday, the president invited House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
(R-Calif.) to the White House to discuss raising the nation’s borrowing limit — the same day that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the US could default on its debt as soon as June 1.
The president has also included Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 47.40809 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
(D-NY), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in the discussion, which is set to take place on May 9.
House Republicans last week narrowly passed a proposal to raise the US debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion or until March 31, 2024, whichever is reached first — but Schumer declared it "dead on arrival" in the Senate.
The bill, known as the Limit, Save, Grow Act, would also cap the growth of federal expenditures to 1% per year for the next decade to shrink non-defense discretionary spending.
