Kevin McCarthy Tamps Down Debt Ceiling Rebellion
Breitbart ^ | 05/31/2023

Posted on 05/31/2023 7:55:34 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tamped down Republican opposition ahead of Wednesday’s vote on the debt ceiling bill.

Ahead of the pivotal decision on the deal struck by McCarthy and President Joe Biden, the House Republican Conference met to discuss members’ issues with the legislation, otherwise known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act.

Some but not all members of the House Freedom Caucus have vented about how the bill does not do enough to tackle America’s deficit problem.

McCarthy doing some heavy lifting on behalf of the totalitarians who want to destroy America.

Didn’t they have some agreement, that a motion to “vacate the chair”, meaning that we will have a new vote for Speaker happen, if any Republicans were unhappy with his performance as speaker?

If so, would now be a good time to call for that new speaker vote, considering how badly received this deal with Biden is???

The most glaring weakness is the lack of any ceiling in this monstrosity.

I think McCarthy is picking (buying) off the Freedom caucus one by one.

The Freedom Caucus should have been disbanded the moment that faker Rep. Thomas Massie came out and supported it.

They may as well invite AOC to be the leader of that group of frauds.

A spreadsheet of the details of all of the “purchases” would be fun to review.

Does anybody have a link to the actual text of the bill. Has the bill been actually written yet or is it still just a bunch of talk?

I just called my rep’s, Jim Jordan, Washington office and urged him to vote no.

His staffer, Hanna, told me she didn’t know how Jim was going to vote on this because he hasn’t given any indication.

OH COME ON! QUIT PLAYING GAMES, JIM. YOUR CONSTITUENTS DESERVE TO KNOW.

Why, Speaker McCarthy, would you EVER agree to a SUSPENSION of the debt ceiling?

You’re counting on a future Congress to impose a new limit in two years, and a President willing to sign it.

What happens if THE PRESIDENT REFUSES TO SIGN A NEW DEBT LIMIT BILL? Unlimited spending forever, that’s what.

I am so disappointed in Massie. I really thought he was genuine.

I’m sure he is falling in line in hopes he will get McConnell’s Senate seat.

Sellout.
