McConnell Takes Taxes Off the Table in Debt Limit Negotiations

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said further tax changes are off the table as lawmakers and the president gear up for a fight next month over raising the U.S. government’s debt limit.

“The tax issue is finished, over, completed,” Kentucky Republican McConnell said on ABC’s “This Week” program. “Now the question is what are we going to do about the biggest problem confronting our country and our future and that’s our spending addiction.”
