“President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that Congress should get rid of the debt ceiling, a day after he came out against a deal reached by congressional lawmakers to fund the government before a shutdown occurs,” NBC News reports.
Trump said getting rid of the debt ceiling entirely would be the “smartest thing Congress could do. I would support that entirely.”
He added: “The Democrats have said they want to get rid of it. If they want to get rid of it, I would lead the charge.”
