Time is running out quickly. {NAME}, I thought it would be helpful to give an update on where we're at with the debt ceiling and negotiations. Secretary Janet Yellen has warned Congress that if we donât raise the debt ceiling by June 1st, we could go into default on our debt. Let me be very clear: if this happens, our country will not be able to pay our bills and we will almost for sure dive into a recession. This is not a âfakeâ emergency as some Republicans are saying, this is real and our government has to pay its bills. I sit on the House Appropriations Committee and I can promise you, Iâve been doing everything in my power to find a deal that Democrats and Republicans can agree on. Should we even be in this position? No. But here we are, and we need a solution asap. We can Monday morning quarterback this when we are past this terrifying cliff. Time is running out quickly and this kind of brinksmanship has real life consequences. If we default on our debt, our seniors wonât be able to access their Social Security benefits and members of our military wonât be seeing their next paychecks. I strongly believe we shouldnât be playing politics with something so serious. Yet thatâs the direction Kevin McCarthy has taken us. The next few days are critical. I'm closely working with the White House and fellow appropriators to understand the status of negotiations, and Iâm going to keep pushing for a deal until the last minute. It's a tense moment right now, but I very much hope that reasonable heads will prevail. Iâll keep you updated, - Josh [DONATE](
