Mitch McConnell promised today that Republicans will not support a debt ceiling hike, just as Democrats have signaled they plan to take a path that would require GOP support
"If they want all this spending and debt to be their signature legacy, they should leap at the chance to own every bit of it,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said.
“If our colleagues want to ram through yet another reckless tax and spending spree without our input, if they want all this spending and debt to be their signature legacy, they should leap at the chance to own every bit of it,” the Kentucky Republican said on the floor. As soon as this weekend, Democrats will take up the $3.5 trillion budget resolution that kicks off consideration of their massive party-line spending bill, which would make enormous investments in health care, climate change and more. The resolution unlocks the reconciliation process, which will allow Democrats to pass the liberal package without GOP support.
Instead, Democrats are daring Republicans to return from August recess and oppose bipartisan action on government spending and the debt limit with just days to spare, risking blame for a government shutdown and catastrophic debt default. GOP lawmakers have so far insisted that they’ll demand reforms to federal spending practices in exchange for action on the debt ceiling.
