The Treasury Department began employing \u201cextraordinary measures\u201d to prevent such a default, which is expected to give Congress until early June to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>However, President Biden and congressional Democrats have so far refused to negotiate on the debt ceiling, instead calling for a clean increase and teeing up a potential showdown with Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0divisions have emerged\u00a0within the GOP over whether to target entitlement programs, former President Trump\u00a0warned Republicans\u00a0last week to look elsewhere for their spending cuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security to help pay for Joe Biden\u2019s reckless spending spree,\u201d Trump said in a video statement posted to Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we absolutely need to stop Biden\u2019s out of control spending, the pain should be borne by Washington bureaucrats, not by hard-working American families and American seniors,\u201d he added. \u201cThe seniors are being absolutely destroyed in the last two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
