As the Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, I am deeply concerned about any prospective deal that would jeopardize our ability to raise the debt ceiling. The full faith and credit of the United States must never be put at mortal risk.

INSIDE THE FRAMEWORK per several Rs briefed on talks… rules changes, budget promises, and committee guarantees… talks are fluid but the framework to win over some of the McCarthy critics coming together as people review top lines… big pic? It makes the HFC central in House.

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.

For context, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. That's right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years.

Once again: raising the debt ceiling is about paying the bill for spending that has already happened.

Raising the debt ceiling is not about spending new money, it’s about paying our country’s bills for the things we’ve ALREADY bought. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. But once again, extreme MAGA Republicans are putting politics over people.

Defaulting on the US debt by not raising the debt limit will crush the economy and skyrocket interest rates on US debt. It will cost way more than any savings from cuts. It’s a dangerous game the GOP will own if they default. Pay your credit card.

The Treasury debt limit is suddenly a serious threat to optimism we can avoid recession this year. Unless lawmakers increase, suspend, or eliminate the limit, Treasury won’t have the cash to pay all its bills on time later this year. Financial markets and the economy will crater.
