The measure passed the House through the Promoting Physical Activity for Americans Act (S.1301).\n\n\u201cThe \u2018Promoting Physical Activity for Americans Act\u2019 sounds like a good bill until you see that Speaker Pelosi stripped out the language of the legislation and inserted an uncapped debt increase through December 2022. You just can\u2019t make this stuff up,\u201d said Rep. Scott. \u201cRaising the debt limit until December 2022 does nothing to address the fiscal issues our country is facing. It only allows Democrats more room to continue to spend without any regard for our debt or the impact their economic policies are having on American families.\u201d\n\nIncreasing the debt limit gives the U.S. government more room to spend without having to pay down the national debt or reduce spending in other areas. Congress must pay down the debt, raise the debt limit by October 18th, or risk defaulting.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "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://austinscott.house.gov/press-releases?ID=86F72B76-6066-41F3-8F8C-4E93067F7A3B"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7367117796093225, "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"}
