Patriot,
Here we go again.
With the United States set to default on our national debt as soon as June 1, House Republicans passed a debt ceiling bill that would have required modest (otherwise known as “insignificant”) cuts to spending.
The Republicans’ proposal, which they call the “Limit, Save, Grow Act,” would lift the debt ceiling until April 2024 but return spending to 2022 levels. The Democrats, of course, don’t want to cut one dime.
Now we hear conflicting reports about the “negotiations” about to take place, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell meeting at the White House next week.
At the same time, President Joe Biden’s press secretary said there will be no negotiations on the debt ceiling.
If history is any indication, it’ll be another show of “negotiations” with weak-kneed Republicans, and there will be no spending cuts.
But if that doesn’t work,
Democrats have a backup plan: they’ve been plotting for months to use a little-known maneuver called a “discharge petition” to force
the House to pass a debt-ceiling hike with no conditions.
The scheme, however, would require a majority of House members to get on board – i.e., every Democrat plus any five Republicans.
Could five Republicans (out of 222) betray their party and the fiscal restraint
they claim to have to pass this debt ceiling deal?
It certainly doesn’t sound far-fetched.
Call your U.S. Representative at (202) 224-3121 and tell him or her “DO NOT COMPROMISE on the debt ceiling! No increase without serious spending cuts!
It only takes a moment to leave a simple message:
Hi, this is [your name] from [your city.] I’m calling to demand the congressman to REJECT any deal to raise the
debt ceiling that does not include meaningful, substantial spending cuts. Our country is bankrupt, and our economy is bleeding just from the interest
payments on the national debt. We need to get spending under control. Do not accept any demands from the Biden administration to raise the debt
ceiling unless there are significant spending cuts. And absolutely, do not support any discharge petition that would advance a bill to raise the debt
ceiling without conditions. Thank you.
You and I MUST continue to keep up the pressure on our lawmakers.
Tell your congressman right now: No debt ceiling deal without reining in the out-of-control spending!
And if you can, please chip in a generous contribution to continue to defend our prosperity.
Thanks for all you do,
Heather D.
