Progress in Debt Ceiling Talks: Santa Claus Promises to Pay US Debt with Magic

McCarthy cites 'progress' in U.S. debt ceiling talks with White House

In a surprise move, Santa Claus has promised to pay off the US national debt with his magic powers. This announcement comes after Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader, cited 'progress' in US debt ceiling talks with the White House. According to sources, Santa Claus, who has been closely following the negotiations, decided to step in and use his magic to solve the problem. 'I know it's a big ask, but I think I can handle it. After all, I deliver presents to millions of children in one night,' Santa said in a statement. The news has been met with mixed reactions. Some experts have expressed skepticism about Santa's ability to pay off the debt, while others have praised him for his generosity. Meanwhile, politicians on both sides of the aisle are scrambling to figure out how to respond to Santa's offer. President Biden, when asked about the development, said, 'We're grateful for Santa's offer, but we need to make sure it's a sustainable solution. We don't want to rely on magic to solve our economic problems.' The debt ceiling talks are ongoing, but Santa's offer has injected a new level of excitement into the negotiations.
