Biden slammed Republicans' demands during debt talks as 'unacceptable,' while McCarthy unwaveringly urged the president to make spending cuts.
President Joe Biden speaks during a news conference following the Group of Seven leaders summit on May 21 in Hiroshima, Japan. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy speaks during a weekly news conference May 28, 2020 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Biden on Sunday called Republican demands for sharp spending cuts unacceptable. He spoke with McCarthy about debt-ceiling and budget negotiations on his flight back from Japan.
While Republicans are calling for an increase in military spending, veterans care and border security, they're demanding steep cuts to other programs. Biden said that the GOP bill to avoid a default would result in 21 million people losing Medicaid in addition to cutting 100,000 teachers and 30,000 law enforcement officers.
