Thursday I will be attending a meeting at the White House with members of the House Republican leadership team. It is my hope that the President intends to use this time to begin good-faith negotiations with House Republicans to fund our government while ensuring fair treatment for all Americans under Obamacare, and to find common ground on critical spending reforms.
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) today issued the following statement in advance of a meeting scheduled tomorrow between the White House and members of House Republican leadership: “Tomorrow I will be attending a meeting at the White House with members of the House Republican leadership team. It is my hope that the President intends to use this time to begin good-faith negotiations with House Republicans to fund our government while ensuring fair treatment for all Americans under Obamacare, and to find common ground on critical spending reforms. “Coming nine days into a federal government shutdown and about a week before the United States risks exhausting its $16.7 trillion credit limit, this small step from the President seems a bit tardy. But if it opens the door for honest negotiations with Senate Democrats and a commitment from the President and his party to find bipartisan compromise to reopen government and defend our credit rating, late is better than never." # # # |
