foxbusiness.com/economy/yellen-doubles-down-june-deadline-avoid-us-debt-default
Quick Glance: McCarthy and Biden Have 'Productive' Debt Ceiling Talks - But No Agreement Despite Looming Default
- President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) both described their Monday evening meeting to discuss raising the debt ceiling as 'productive' - but differences between the two leaders still exist as a June 1 deadline to avert a federal default gets closer.
- McCarthy said the tone of the meeting was better than any previous negotiation, but he did not hear anything from the president indicating that the two had reached common ground beyond their shared desire to strike a deal.
- According to McCarthy, there are no Pentagon cuts or tax increases on the table, two areas where potential disagreements with the White House could arise. McCarthy added that he opposes a short-term debt ceiling increase.
- Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reaffirmed on Sunday that June 1 is a hard deadline for the federal government to raise the debt ceiling before it is no longer able to pay its bills. A default on federal obligations would jeopardize the fulfillment of federal commitments and most experts believe it would be economically disastrous.

- Over the next 48 hours, there was a surge in customer withdrawals from the bank, which then attempted to raise emergency capital on the equity markets, which investors rejected.
- It, too, would crumble.
- "SVB's collapse was caused by a liquidity crisis when many of its larger depositors wanted to take money out at the same time." Haine explained.
- "The issue at the heart of this was caused by massive losses on SVB's bond investments in the face of rising US interest rates, and a fire sale of these as its clients – typically technology start-up entrepreneurs and venture capital investors – began pulling money out."

Quick Glance: The Internal Revenue Service has unveiled a $80 billion plan to overhaul tax collection.
- The new I.R.S. commissioner, Daniel I. Werfel, stated that the agency's staff expansion would aim to improve its ability to collect unpaid taxes from the wealthy and large corporations.
- The plan, which was released on Thursday, outlines how the Internal Revenue Service intends to become a "digital first" organization that provides "world class" service to taxpayers.
- Mr. Werfel, however, stated in a press conference on Thursday that audit rates for those earning less than $400,000 would not be raised in the near future.
- Despite efforts to emphasize technology and taxpayer services, the plan is likely to elicit criticism.
