Senator Warren Responds to McCarthy's Speech to Wall Street on Debt Limit

Press Release

Date: April 17, 2023
Location: Washington, DC

"Speaker McCarthy went to Wall Street to spread Republicans' message to billionaires and corporate executives: they want hardworking families to pay the cost of keeping the government up and running, while corporations get away with paying as little as possible in taxes -- and they're willing to hold our entire economy hostage to get it done.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

House Republicans' proposed budget cuts threaten economic disaster and American jobs, all to protect billionaires and giant corporations. Independent analysis from Moody's shows congressional Republicans' budget cuts could throw 720,000 to over 2.5 million Americans out of work. That's a non-starter. President Biden must hold firm on behalf of working families, and insist Republicans raise the debt limit swiftly and cleanly as they did time and time again under President Trump."
