Over 100 GOP US House Members Declare They Will Not Vote to Raise Debt Ceiling

More than 100 House Republican members declared that they won’t raise the debt ceiling, in a letter written to the American people, adding that it’s Democrats who should take responsibility for making the change to the debt limit because of their continued “spending spree.”

“Democrats have embarked on a massive and unprecedented deficit spending spree. Without a single Republican vote, they passed a $1.9 trillion ‘Covid relief’ bill in March,” the letter, signed by 103 House Republicans, reads. “Now they have passed a $3.5 trillion Budget Resolution, again without a single Republican vote.

“The non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has calculated that a more honest score of this budget resolution will likely exceed $5 trillion.”
