Rep. Scott contends the measure offered by Congressional Democrats does not address our country\u2019s fiscal issues caused by their out-of-control tax and spend agenda. The government\u2019s fiscal year ends today, September 30th. The debt limit is set to expire on October 18th.\n\n\u201cA short-term CR kicks the can down the road for a few more weeks with no bipartisan agreement on long-term government funding. Second, it doesn\u2019t address the larger debt limit crisis set to occur on October 18th. I believe these two things should be addressed together in a bipartisan manner with input from Republicans. Just as a reminder, Congress has been in session 11 days in the last two months,\u201d said Rep. Scott.\n\nLast night, House Democrats passed a measure to suspend the country\u2019s debt limit until December 2022. Congress must pay down the debt, raise the debt limit by October 18th, or risk defaulting.
