US (Washington Insider Magazine) – Ron DeSantis questioned the bipartisan agreement to raise the debt ceiling between the White House and the Republican caucus in Congress, assuring that: “They are leading the US to bankruptcy”
The governor of Florida, and candidate to occupy the White House in the year 2024, Ron DeSantis, criticized the bipartisan agreement on the debt ceiling in the United States, as he believed that it will lead the US “to bankruptcy.”
In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” DeSantis said, “Before this deal, our country was heading toward bankruptcy. And after this deal, our country is still heading for bankruptcy.” This was reported by the news portal The Hill.
DeSantis detailed the reason for his position: he questioned the high level of public spending that has been carried out since March 2020, the date on which the COVID-19 pandemic was officially declared, and opined that maintaining that level of spending “is going to be wholly inadequate to lead us to a better place.”
On the other hand, Kevin McCarthy, leader of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, defended on Sunday, May 29, the agreement reached with the White House to raise the debt ceiling.
According to information from the EFE news agency, McCarthy assured that the law is good and solid, and he hopes that the majority of Republicans will support it, despite the fact that he has found criticism within the most radical parts of the GOP (acronyms with those known to the Republican Party in the US).
Republican congressmen like Dan Bishop and Chip Roy or senators like Rand Paul, among others, questioned McCarthy, assuring that the “cuts” in spending that he talks about are not real and that they do nothing more than maintain the status quo. This was reported by the EFE news agency.
This deal is crazy. A $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling with virtually no cuts is not what we agreed to. I am not voting to ruin our country,” said Ralph Norman, a Republican congressman, on Twitter.
A few days ago, the White House and Republican representatives reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling for two years, while cutting public spending.
