Opinion | Newt Gingrich: McCarthy’s debt ceiling deal or Biden’s default WashTimesOpEd
In the 15-minute voting process, we had to find the undecided or opposing Republicans and convince them to help the team. So, I have great admiration for what Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the House GOP leadership achieved last week: passing the rational debt ceiling deal.
House Republicans have passed a responsible increase in the debt ceiling while taking the first steps toward reducing spending and getting back to a balanced budget. The White House responded to the bill’s passage by saying, “House Republicans must take default off the table and address the debt limit without demands and conditions.”
Further, the scale of Mr. McCarthy’s achievement is beginning to sink in. Remember: Speaker John Boehner and Speaker Paul Ryan couldn’t pass a debt ceiling increase with only Republican votes — and they had much bigger majorities than Mr. McCarthy’s.“House Republicans passed their first big legislative test on Wednesday as they passed their bill to increase the federal debt ceiling with no help from Democrats.
The chairman of the Freedom Caucus told Politico: “Look, we’re passing things — big things. Isn’t that a sign of success?”
