A senior Trump administration official guaranteed Friday a debt
ceiling hike will occur next month and prevent a potentially damaging
federal default.
“The debt ceiling will be raised,” Treasury
Secretary Steve Mnuchin said, adding he has had talks with congressional
leaders about how to get a bill raising America’s borrowing limit to
President Donald Trump’s desk.
Mnuchin
described White House officials and congressional leaders as “all on
the same page,” adding: “The government intends to pay [its] debts.”[Trump Tries to Embarrass Another GOP Senator Via Twitter]
“I
am 100 percent confident,” Mnuchin said of a debt-ceiling hike, adding
he cannot see “any scenario” under which “the government won’t pay its
bills.”
Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also have expressed confidence that lawmakers will indeed pass a debt ceiling-hiking measure next month. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer want to raise the borrowing limit with no dramatics.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
