U.S. Representative Tim Burchett (TN-02) released the following statement regarding tonight's vote in the House of Representatives to raise the public debt limit by $480 billion:
"I opposed suspending the debt ceiling under Donald Trump, and I oppose raising debt ceiling under Joe Biden. It's disingenuous for Democrats to demand Republicans help raise the debt ceiling while they are currently pursuing trillions of dollars for social engineering programs. We need to cut spending to reduce the debt placed on future generations' shoulders instead of raising the debt ceiling to enact a political agenda."
