Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told ThisWeekABC's GStephanopoulos that Republicans will submit their own budget proposal as they clamor for spending cuts in exchange for agreeing to raise the debt ceiling.
"We're gonna come forward with a plan. We're still debating that plan. We're having robust debate amongst our conference. And that's what democracy is supposed to be about," Comer told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos, lamenting the nation's rising debt. "Somebody's got to be the adult at the table, and House Republicans will hopefully be that.
The debate over spending and the national debt is raging on Capitol Hill as, according to the Treasury Department, the government must have its borrowing limit increased by the summer or risk defaulting on its obligations, which would amount to a historic economic failure with far-reaching consequences.
"Where is your plan, Mr. McCarthy? He says he wants cuts. We ask him which ones," Schumer said in a separate appearance on "This Week" on Sunday. Schumer suggested Republicans were being disingenuous and would seek cuts to Social Security and Medicare Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, presides over a meeting of the committee, Jan. 31, 2023, in Washington, D.C."It's easy to spend money. What unites the Democrats is spending money. Now, when you get to the point to where we are now where we got to make cuts, it's a lot tougher," Comer said. "We're not going to cut Social Security or Medicare. We've been very clear about that.
"I don't disagree with the Democrats and their criticism of the previous administration. We have a problem here that needs a legislative solution," he added. "That's why this Biden investigation is so important. There's a legislative solution to this, and it can be bipartisan."
