But Not Liz Cheney, Right?

Yes, Liz Cheney.

But certainly not Adam Kinzinger!

Yes, Adam Kinzinger too.

From Business Insider:

No House Republican voted to raise the US debt ceiling

All House Republicans who cast a vote voted against a bill on Tuesday that allowed for a two-month debt limit hike to stave off a default on the US's debt.

The party-line vote was 219-206 in the House. Six Republicans and one Democrat did not vote. House Republicans slammed it as a step that would unlock a wave of Democratic spending in the near future.

The debt limit deals with the US's ability to pay its bills and doesn't authorize any fresh spending by Congress...

Fuck!  Fuckfuckfuck! And I just bought my kids a complete set of Reasonable Republican action figures with Sensible Centrist Kung Fu Grip for Christmas.

Republicans have no problem with the debt ceiling or any other kind of debt till dems are in charge. How much did these same republicans who vote against raising the debt ceiling contributed to the 7 plus trillion debt during the Trump administration?

So the GOP want to give China an economic advantage over America. Over the world.

Fiscal responsibility GOP style.

Spend wildly and put it all on the government credit card without no way to pay for it.

When it comes due. We can't afford Social Security, The ACA, and items like that have to go to save money.

But do not touch my congressional salary, Health care benefits for me and my foamily and continue paying into our congressional pensions and those retired congressmen pensions.
By the way, congressional per diem for travel is an essential part of small government.

For the record, GOP voted how many times during the Trump Adm. to NOT raise the debt limit?

As I repeatedly say, there is no such thing as a good Republican. I remain aghast at the desperation within Democratic ranks to applaud the occasional one for doing the least possible for democracy.
