Joe Biden and House Democrats should listen to what former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to say about debt ceiling negotiations back in 2019, according to The Washington Post: ``Pelosi, the California Democrat, said the idea of raising the debt ceiling on its own and not in conjunction with a budget agreement was not `acceptable to our Caucus' and, therefore, did not stand a chance of passage in the House of Representatives.'' Debt ceiling negotiations are nothing new. President Biden has a long history of engaging in and supporting negotiations over the debt limit, as do other House Democrats. House Republicans are committed to a reasonable, responsible, and sensible solution to our Nation's debt crisis that would limit Washington's irresponsible spending, save taxpayer dollars, and grow the American economy. President Biden and the extreme Democrats' inflationary spending spree has worked to increase our national debt to unsustainable levels, over $31.6 trillion, with annual deficits of $1.5 trillion. While Joe Biden has no plan to avoid debt default, House Republicans are committed to sensible debt ceiling negotiations. Congratulating Stuarts Draft FFA Team
