We are now faced with the following choice: kick the can further down the road at the expense of future generations or make smart financial decisions now. I choose now.\n\n\u201cAs a fiscal conservative, I believe that raising the debt ceiling must be done in conjunction with measures to cut political agenda spending. That\u2019s why I am pleased to support the first step in returning to sanity - legislation that will limit spending, save taxpayers trillions of dollars, grow our economy, and lift the debt limit into next year.\n\n\u201cAs usual, rather than working with the House majority on a reasonable solution to our nation\u2019s debt crisis, President Biden\u2019s handlers along with Senator Schumer have demanded that Congress raise the debt ceiling without implementing any changes to how the government spends and borrows trillions of dollars.\n\n\u201cThe status quo is unreasonable and irresponsible. An increase in the debt limit without spending controls would only schedule another debt crisis on the American people\u2019s calendar.\n\n\u201cNow that the House majority has delivered on responsible debt ceiling legislation, it\u2019s time for Senator Schumer and President Biden to put partisan brinkmanship aside and act like political adults instead of playground rock throwers.\u201d\n\nThe Limit, Save, and Grow Act includes the following provisions:\n\nReturn FY24 non-defense discretionary spending to FY22 levels.\n\nRescind unspent COVID money.\n\nProhibit Biden\u2019s student loan forgiveness proposal.\n\nRepeal some \u2018Green New Deal\u2019 tax credits.\n\nEliminate funding for the 87,000 new IRS agents charged with shaking down families and small businesses.\n\nRestore work requirements to lift Americans out of poverty.\n\nEnact H.R. 1 to lower energy costs.\n\nResponsibly lift the debt limit through March 31, 2024, or by $1.5 trillion.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:44:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases/amodei-votes-yes-limit-save-grow-act-2023"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8632298558950424, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
