House and Senate Republicans agree: raising the debt limit without getting spending under control would be irresponsible.
We have more than enough votes in the Senate to stop any bill raising the debt ceiling without substantive spending and budgetary reforms. Thank you to my colleagues who signed this letter.

When you raised the debt limit for Trump 3x, it covered spending incurred with his egregious tax cut for the rich. Trump never built anything. Biden is building up the middle class & investing in infrastructure. That brings in tax receipts. Congress approved the spending. Covid devasted me financially & cost the country dearly. Trump & his goons also gave away billions they should not have using covid as a cover. Go ask Jared.

Yes it was fine 6 years ago when you gave all those rich people 2 trillion Tx break. But now it’s the biggest issue? You spent the money when your boy dump was in the WH, now it’s time to pay for the irresponsible spending. Anything to make Dems fail!! #FactsMatter

Kevin, you and Mike Lee are common corporate whores. You don't give a damn about the welfare and security of this country.

What happened to scaling back IRS funding? Was hoping that would be part of the terms in this negotiation

Not raising the debt limit is irresponsible, period. It will cause an economic crisis and you know that. The budget you proposed will hurt millions. You are literally holding the nation hostage.

Please list the items upon which spending is "out of control". I'll wait right here for your list.

The Senate GOP & House GOP are threatening banks with draconian demands to pay off debt. This is irresponsible leadership & financial irresponsibility. We must hold our elected officials accountable & demand to pay debt when it's due and not confuse Debt with Budget #DebtCeiling #WhatAboutU? #NoDraconianDemands
