Quite a few Republican representatives are not happy with the debt ceiling deal, and one vowed not to 'bankrupt our country'

Several Republican representatives say they're unhappy with the debt ceiling deal after the White House and House Speaker reached a tentative agreement Saturday night.

Kevin McCarthy said he'd spoken with President Joe Biden on the phone twice and struck a deal in principle after weeks of fraught negotiations.

The deal means the US will avert a national debt default, which could trigger chaos on financial markets and send the dollar sinking – but the legislation still has to pass both the House and the Senate.

Republican Congressmen Ralph Norman and Ken Buck both attacked the agreement.

Norman, of South Carolina, called the deal "insanity" in a tweet and said a debt ceiling increase with "virtually no cuts" was not what had been agreed. He vowed not to vote to "bankrupt our country".

Buck, of Colorado, said he's "appalled" by the "surrender" to raise the debt ceiling. "The bottom line is that the US will have $35 trillion of debt in January, 2025. That is completely unacceptable," he tweeted.

Yes they do, and even worse what these corrupt bought off officials are raising the US national debt for. We now have even worse debt levels than a lot of central American narco-states do. They’re using those extra hundreds of billions of taxpayer money to flood the country with even more illegals and H1B cheap labor imports to bring down American wages even more and push up housing prices and inflation at the same time. It’s pure elite corruption at our expense, and McCarthy is their poster boy. He was already bought off well before the first Speaker’s ballot in January.

Very interesting Javeth. Thank you. Most of the articles out there just don’t tell the truth and what is happening day to day in other countries. If I believed everything I read on the internet, I would think Europe is all communist and taking in as many migrants as they can and forcing their own citizens to support them. An that guns were few and far between.
