Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) praised the House’s passage of the Limit, Save, Grow Act on Wednesday. He also took the opportunity to rip Democrats and blame them for the situation at hand.
Democrats were dissatisfied with the bill. The White House said it would hurt people, and Rep. Jim McGovern said in a Rules Committee meeting that went into the early hours of Wednesday that Republicans held up the process while calling Democrats the problem.“With today’s passage of the Limit, Save, Grow Act, our House Republican majority did what the American people put us in office to do: stop Democrats’ spending spree and get America back on track,” Reschenthaler said in a statement.
Moving on from bashing Democrats, the statement added, “Our plan works for the American people, their children, and their grandchildren.” “House Republicans have passed a bill that cuts veterans’ health care, education, Meals on Wheels, and public safety, takes away health care from millions of Americans, and sends manufacturing jobs overseas while they fight to extend the Trump tax cuts for the wealthiest and profitable corporations,” the White House statement read.
Other Democrats were heated before the day’s proceedings began. McGovern, in a House Rules Committee hearing on the bill that he said lasted from 4 p.m. Tuesday until around 2 a.m. Wednesday, said Republicans had held up the process by negotiating with each other, not with House Democrats.The GOP adopted, without a vote, a huge update to their debt ceiling bill that they drafted behind closed doors & introduced while most people were asleep.— Rep.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy's team huddled with key holdouts late into Tuesday evening. He declined to say whether he had the majority votes needed for passage. Prospects for the sweeping package were buoyed by a nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office analysis showing the Republican plan would reduce federal deficits by $4.8 trillion over the decade if the proposed changes became law. It would lift the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion into 2024 in exchange for steep budget cuts. President Joe Biden has threatened to veto the bill.
