Mnuchin: Debt limit should be tied to Harvey funding
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Sunday that he and President Trump believe the debt limit should be tied to Hurricane Harvey relief funding.
During an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Mnuchin was asked whether he can guarantee that disaster aid for Harvey would not be tied to a bill to raise the debt limit.
"No I can't, quite the contrary," Mnuchin said.
"The president and I believe that it should be tied to the Harvey funding, that our first priority is to make sure that the state gets money," he said. "It is critical and to do that we need to make sure we raise the debt limit."
Mnuchin said if Congress appropriates the money, but he doesn't have the ability to borrow more money and pay for it, "we're not going to be able to get that money to the state."

Leave it to him and Drumpf to fuck up a simple task.
