GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson vows he won’t raise the debt ceiling if elected President of the United States, and says he’ll address the budget “immediately.”
Carson – who recently ranked first among the GOP field in a national New York Times/CBS News poll – tells The Hill, “If I’m elected, in January of 2017, we will begin to address the budget immediately.”
He added, “We’re not going to wait until October or November to do it, when we’re backed against the wall. And I will make it very, very clear that there will not be any budget signed that increases our debt ceiling. It will have to be done.”
