Today’s hearing covers a single item, a measure to increase the debt limit by $2.5 trillion, the largest increase in the debt in history, which is expected to cover federal spending through the end of 2022.
While I understand the need to address the debt limit to ensure the federal government does not default on its obligations, it is frustrating that the Majority’s unwillingness to accept its responsibilities of governance have brought us to this point.
