Conservatives are getting ready for a fight over the debt ceiling, but one immediate question is whether Democrats will send anyone to the negotiating table.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss the impact of massive government spending as the U.S. is projected to hit the debt ceiling.on Thursday, which puts the new House Republican majority in a position to pump the brakes on federal spending after an explosion of new debt in the COVID era.$31.381 trillion debt ceiling
On Tuesday, Roy said in a radio interview that this idea is a"start" and that the House needs to have a"serious conversation" about how to get to a balanced budget in 10 years and then"attach" that to the idea of raising the debt ceiling. In contrast, Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona indicated that he’ll never agree to a debt ceiling hike even if Democrats and the Biden administration somehow agree to steep cuts, saying that the government already has plenty of money.
But the lack of a common position among the GOP may not matter yet. Even as Republicans sharpen their spears in preparation for negotiations over how to shrink the $6.3 trillion federal government, it became clear this week that the first skirmish will likely be whether the Democrats send anyone from their side to negotiate.The Biden administration has staked out an early position that the debt ceiling must be raised without any conditions.
