WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday warned that the United States may run out of measures to pay its debt obligations by June 1, earlier than the government and Wall Street had been expecting.
In a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Yellen said new data on tax receipts forced the department to move up its estimate of when the Treasury Department "will be unable to continue to satisfy all of the government's obligations" to potentially as early as June 1, if Congress doesn't raise or suspend the debt limit before then. This date is earlier than Wall Street economists were expecting. Goldman Sachs' latest estimate this week

Janet Yellen is Dr. Fauci if he transitioned to a "woman". Both creepy little trolls and I wouldn't believe a word they say. Or them, or us, or we or whatever they call themselves. It works.

Janet may be smart (I’ll leave that to others to decide) but I have seldom heard someone who is supposedly an authority on anything sound so much like a dope. She is so hard to take seriously.

We have gone through this before The plan was always to overspend and blame republicans when they won’t raise the debt limit. Government will ahut down and we don’t have money to defend ourselves against the invasion that is happening. The secret is that they have to keep funding the military and necessary services. It would be nice if some reporters would explain this to the dumbdowned voters.

What NONE of these stories ever mention is..."When was this debt ceiling set? Why is it being exceeded now? Looong before projected? What NEW spending has created the major miss on "budgeting" Promises".
The last actual/real budget was in 2007, EVERY dime since has been spent via omnibus, emergency, continuing resolutions, and debt ceiling increases, violating the actual rules and LAWS regarding budgets, as well as violating the bi-Partisan Pay-Go restraints, put in place to STOP rampant debt.
Every Repub, conservative Dem, and Honest Media member should be Reminding people that Biden and the dems made the same sort of threats and demands then as well. Holding the country Hostage, blaming the Repubs, but refusing to even meet with them.

Do you really expect those people to honor the debt ceiling or would they just keep on spending and borrowing and ignore the law?

When trying to climb out of a hole you've been digging, stop digging. First step.
For us:
Close the border in truth. Begin deporting people here illegally, including babies born here;
Go to "Baseline budgeting"
Take all the EOs Biden signed on his first day in Office, and delete the signature, in effect. Shred them.
Open all the fossil fuel sources; begin building new refineries; restart pipelines.
Tell Europeans that Ukraine is their problem. We already rebuilt Europe once. No more Marshall Plans for you.
At home: end fascism... no more ordering industries and companies to do what the regime wants; no more dictatorial edicts to the People.
Biden & Co. must end the demonization of Republicans/Conservatives.
End ALL sexual and other exploitation of children, immediately upon immediate arrest.
Needless to say, schools MUST return to their proper and only function of educating children in the things which set them on their way to happy and productive lives.
Some are social issues, some political, and the others economic. Nothing will settle back into a natural rhythm of economy prosperity if we don't restore the moral and political order which produced the greatest economic and political and military enterprise.
Right now a dystopia of lies is crushing us, stifling, and immobilizing us.

If Yellin said it, I don't believe it. I would have to hear it from someone else. That old woman is the most incompetent Treasury Secretary we have ever had.

Liar. She has printing presses. What would happen if the fake "debt ceiling" was not changed? Nothing. The government would continue to print money and pay off debt. Obviously the "debt ceiling" has never done anything to stop the government from borrowing more money and repaying it with inflated paper. Will the idiots who buy US debt ever learn?
