Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says that he's "100 percent confident" that the nation's debt ceiling will be raised in September amid President Trump's recent claims that GOP leadership dropped the ball in not raising it before the August recess.
"The president and I are on same page, we're speaking on a regular basis on this," said Mnuchin at Thursday's White House press briefing of Mr. Trump's concerns on increasing the debit limit.
"With my wife's need for designer clothes and her upcoming plastic surgery, not to mention the traveling we do on the taxpayer dime, it is in the best interest of this nation the debt ceiling be raised so as to avoid the catastrophic consequences of not doing so."
Mnuchin went on to say, "My former employers, Goldman Sachs and George Soros, both approve of this unavoidable, but necessary, endeavor."
"It should be noted at no time did any discussion of reigning in the spiraling deficit of this country come into play. With our intent to cut revenue through tax cuts, everything will pay for itself. This will guarantee over the next eight years a complete elimination of the $19 trillion in debt this nation carries."
