Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo Sunday to blast President Biden’s unwillingness to negotiate on the House Republicans’ recent budget proposal which addresses the debt ceiling. Called the “Limit, Save, Grow” Act, the measure would raise the cap by $1.5 trillion while cutting back spending to FY 2022 levels.

“The contrast could not be starker,” Cruz said. “The Republicans in the House are responsible and Joe Biden… what is he saying? He’s saying ‘I will not talk, I will not negotiate, I will not give in on anything, anyhow, any way.’”

Cruz added that the Republicans have been willing to make concessions, but that Biden is unmovable:

“What is happening is, Joe Biden is gambling. Joe Biden needs to stop playing roulette with the American economy and with the American credit limit,” he continued.

“He doesn’t want to say that. Why? Because he wants to fear-monger. He wants to scare the equity markets. He wants to scare the bond markets, and what he is doing right now is wildly irresponsible.”
