Congressman Doesn’t Want Spending Debate Lost to Debt Fight
Oct 10, 2013 7:26 AM
Thedebtceiling is only part of the discussion that Congressman Rodney Davis wants to have. The Central Illinois Republican says Congress also needs to talk about their efforts to cut back on spending.
Congressman Davis says he wants to know how much President Obama wants to spend before he’ll vote on whether to raise the debt ceiling.
President Obama wants to raise the debt-ceiling but he hasn’t given details on what his spending plans are. He says the nation’s creditworthiness is at stake if the ceiling isn’t raised. Obama even told Congress he’d negotiate on the budget if House Republicans ended the government shutdown and voted to raise the debt ceiling. House Speaker John Boehner refused the offer, claiming the president wanted an unconditional surrender, and that’s not how government works.
