RIGHT SPEAK: 'Get out of the way': Biden Blasts Republicans Over Debt Ceiling Standoff; Biden Blames McConnell, Manchin, Sinema for Agenda, Debt Limit Woes; THEN MCCONNELL CAVES

'Get out of the way': Biden blasts Republicans over debt ceiling standoff:

President Joe Biden accused congressional Republicans of being reckless over their approach to the debt ceiling, adamant that extending the country's borrowing limit is a shared responsibility because it is about paying off expenses already incurred.

"We always pay what we owe. We've never failed," Biden said Monday in the White House. "Raising the debt limit is usually a bipartisan undertaking, and it should be."

“Stop playing Russian roulette with our economy," he added, warning that he could not guarantee avoiding the "catastrophic" event of a default.

Two weeks before the Treasury Department is expected to run out of money to meet its commitments on Oct. 18, Biden said the debt ceiling is not tied to his spending priorities. He also brought up Republican opposition to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's efforts to lift the debt ceiling by unanimous consent, a fast-track parliamentary procedure.

"Let the Democrats vote to raise the debt ceiling this week without obstruction," Biden told reporters. "Let us vote and end the mess." --->READ MORE HERE

Biden blames McConnell, Manchin, Sinema for agenda, debt limit woes:

Days after he failed to gain enough support in his own party to approve two crucial pieces of his agenda, President Biden on Monday insisted he’s doing all he can as he blamed fellow Democrats and the Senate Republican leader for his legislative troubles.

Following a White House address where he urged Senate Minority Leader to set aside a filibuster on raising the debt limit, admitting to reporters afterwards that he “can’t” guarantee the US won’t hit the debt ceiling, Biden was pressed on why he was unable to get key members of the Democratic Party on board with his infrastructure and social spending agenda last week.

“I have been able to close a deal with 99 percent of my party — two people,” he said, appearing to reference Sens. Krysten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), who have both vowed to vote against Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package at its current price tag.

“That’s still underway,” Biden said of negotiations.
