Obama Won't Negotiate Over Debt Limit

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said that President Obama won't bargain with GOP lawmakers over increasing the debt limit, USA Today reports.

The warning from Lew came one day after he formally notified House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) in a letter that the federal government will hit the $16.7 trillion debt limit in mid-October.
