Roosevelt Says No Immediate Need to Raise Debt Ceiling
Roosevelt told Congress there is no current need to lift the $45 billion cap on the total public debt but recommended raising the $30 billion limit on outstanding government bonds. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau reported no urgent need to advance the debt ceiling as debt nears $40 billion. The message, amid GOP and conservative Democrats ready to oppose fiscal policy, halts plans for tax-cut appeasement tied to revenue gains. Roosevelt insists any tax revisions must offset losses with higher levies, challenging business groups favoring tax relief without protection.
