Biden and McCarthy are projecting optimism, but there’s still no debt limit deal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:04 GMT

(CNN) — The clock is ticking for President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to come to agreement to avoid a first-ever default on the nation’s debt. And although there are some positive signs suggesting they’re closer to a consensus, there is still no deal.They face a looming deadline, with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reaffirming in a letter to McCarthy on Monday that it is “highly likely” that the US Treasury will not be able to pay all of its bills in full and on time as soon as June 1.While McCarthy emerged from a meeting at the White House with Biden on Monday evening without a deal, he underscored that both parties are united in their goal of reaching an agreement to raise the nation’s debt limit before the country defaults.“I felt we had a productive discussion. We don’t have an agreement yet, but I did feel the discussion was productive in areas that we have differences of opinion,” McCarthy said outside the West Wing, adding that the “tone” of Mo...

Speed humps encourage driving at speeds of no more than 20 to 25 miles per hour.“As more and more speeding cars are cutting through our residential side streets, even front yards on a previously quiet neighborhood residential street are now quite scary for parents,” Wu said at a Monday press conference in Mattapan.“In many cases, kids are no longer able to play outside in the front yard,” she added.Fatal pedestrian crashes...
