Episode notes

The White House says they won't negotiate on the debt ceiling. Republicans say they won't raise the debt ceiling unless the White House agrees to cut spending. Can you identify these three sounds? Switched On Pop will break it down for you.

House Republicans are refusing to raise the US debt ceiling without huge concessions. Vox’s Dylan Matthews explains why we have a debt ceiling to begin with (and how President Biden could bypass it).

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
