WASHINGTON — Eighteen Texans, mostly Republicans, voted against a bill to push off the nation's debt limit for two years as the deal to avert a defaultTexans Chip Roy, Greg Casar lead fight against debt deal from opposite sides
Just four of 13 Texas Democrats opposed the deal struck by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden as the agreement, which includes caps on federal spending and a slew of GOP priorities, drew more support from Democrats than Republicans. "Democrats saved the day, provided more votes than the majority" U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston said, describing a scenario in which the country defaulted as"as catastrophic or worse than the banking collapse in 2008."Republicans who voted no said pushing the debt limit off until 2025 would allow the country to go $4 trillion deeper into the red. They included U.S. Reps.
Democrats opposing the deal pointed to new work requirements on some federal programs and said they could not support a process in which “a small number of extremist Republicans can hold American families hostage." They included U.S. Reps. Greg Casar of Austin, Joaquin Castro of San Antonio, Jasmine Crockett of Dallas and Sylvia Garcia of Houston.
