Top Republicans differ on strategy to handle debt limit deadline: Demand reforms or just say no?
Fox News
Republicans say they're ready for political game of chicken with Democrats over the looming debt ceiling deadline, but not all party members appear to be on the same page for how to fight that battle.
"Even as Democrats crow about how all this spending is so good, so needed, they're petrified to vote for the credit limit increase that would make it possible," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday. He attacked Democrats over their plan to spend more than $3 trillion in a budget reconciliation bill and swore that Republicans won't vote to increase the debt limit. "They want Republicans to give them political cover for the partisan debt bomb that they'll go on to detonate with zero input from us," McConnell added. Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., the chair of the House Republican Study Committee, meanwhile said he wants Republicans to extract controls on future spending from Democrats in exchange for raising the debt limit.
