Look, we’ve been very clear that the debt limit should be dealt with without conditions. We’ve been very, very clear on that, and we continue to make that clear. And — and we believe that Congress should act in a bipartisan way — as they did three times in the last administration, as they did 78 times since 1960, 49 times with a Republican president, and 29 times with a Democratic president.
This is incredibly important. We have seen reports that if a default happens, 6 million jobs could be lost. Right? We’re talking about an economy that we saw the GDP, just the other day, at 2.9 percent growth, which is better than was antici- — expected.
So we’re seeing a growing economy. We’re seeing record unemployment, 50-year low. We’re seeing almost 11 [million] jobs created under this President.
