The Limit, Save, Grow Act will reduce our Federal deficit by $4.8 trillion over the next decade and lifts the debt ceiling to avoid this looming crisis, all while protecting seniors and veterans.

Yet, our bill was met by even more silence from the White House and childish derision from leadership in the Senate--no negotiation, no counterproposal. In short, not an ounce of work from the executive branch nor the other half of the legislative branch. Maybe they were too busy. Maybe they were on vacation. Maybe they hadn't thought through the disastrous consequences of doing nothing. No work, no solutions, no negotiations, no plan--the Biden-Schumer default is coming for your Social Security check because they refuse to show up for work.
