Despite the recent passage of a substantial debt-limit and spending-cuts plan by House Republicans, it seems neither Democrats nor Republicans have shifted their stance on the debt ceiling as of Sunday. Democratic Senator Chris Coons compared the situation to a hostage crisis during his appearance on ABC's 'This Week.' Coons criticized the Republican approach, stating, 'The Republicans are demanding hostage negotiations where they will crash the full faith and credit of the United States.' He argued that this would push our nation into recession and weaken our global standing.

House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark urged the GOP to put country first and to act as 'grown-ups in the room' when it comes to addressing the debt ceiling. 'The American people are looking at us,' the Massachusetts Democrat said on MSNBC's 'Inside with Jen Psaki,' and they recognize that 'this shouldn't be a partisan drama playing out that we are going to foot the bill for.' Clark stressed the need to avoid a default crisis manufactured by the Republican party, and then focus on investing in the nation's future.
