The clock is ticking for the White House and House Republicans to cut a deal on increasing the debt ceiling to avoid a catastrophic default. The looming deadline has many people concerned and frustrated. A recent poll indicates two-thirds of U.S. adults fear the economic fallout if the government defaults on its debts.
So who do Americans blame for the debt ceiling crisis–Biden or Congress? In the latest 36-minute episode of “America Speaks,” political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz asks Democrat and Republican voters who they fault for pushing the country to the brink of default. They also discuss possible solutions to cutting the country’s massive deficit, including reducing military spending.
