Disaster Aid and Rise in Debt Limit Win House Approval
“What you have is two competing things — a compassionate heart that wants to deal with hurricane relief and a number of very principled people who realize we’re bankrupting our country by continuing to raise a debt ceiling and not doing anything about spending.”
Congressman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) is the chairman of the 40-member House Freedom Caucus. The House passed the measure to increase the debt ceiling 316 to 90, with all the No votes cast by members of the GOP.
