.RepAndyBiggsAZ (R-AZ) told Breitbart News that Speaker Kevin McCarthy is 'pretty close' to passing the Debt Limit bill.
Rep. Andy Biggs told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Monday that Speaker Kevin McCarthy is “pretty close” to passing the debt limit bill.
He explained in a metaphor how the Republican plan would do little to tackle America’s debt crisis. “Whether you go off the cliff at 60 miles an hour, which we’re going to do, consider — we’re going off the cliff at 80 miles an hour, which is what the Democrats want to do — sooner or later … that you lay the land and it’s a crash land. You hit the ground and you have a crash.”
Although Biggs remains noncommital about the legislation, he predicted that McCarthy is likely “pretty close” to having the votes to pass the bill through the House. McCarthy and House Republican leadership hope to pass the debt ceiling bill and send it to the Senate so that they can force President Joe Biden to negotiate with McCarthy on a compromise debt ceiling provision.
