Senate Hearings Expose Reckless House GOP Debt Limit Bill

The Senate will hold hearings on the House GOP's debt limit bill, which would condition raising the debt limit on adopting steep spending cuts and rolling back several of President Biden’s priorities. The hearings aim to expose the impact of the legislation on everyday Americans. President Biden is insisting Congress pass a bill raising the limit with no conditions. Without action by Congress, the nation could default on its debt as soon as six weeks from now. The House bill has no chance of passing in the Democratic-led Senate, and Biden has threatened to veto it if it reaches his desk.
