You\u2019ve got the debt ceiling looming. Because they\u2019ve spent trillions more dollars, we\u2019re about to max out our credit card again, and what is their answer? They passed over to the Senate trillions more in spending, Maria. And by the way, deficit spending, that will all go to the debt.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cThey don\u2019t care about who is going to pay for this. They\u2019re going to wait until the midnight hour. This is what Speaker Pelosi always does \u2014 wait until the midnight hour \u2014 and then blame Republicans somehow when they control the House, Senate and White House. They\u2019re running us up to yet another deadline. They\u2019ll probably do something short-term again because they\u2019re not having any long-term, serious negotiations with Republicans on solving any of these problems. And the answer to the problems, by the way, is not spending trillions more dollars. It\u2019s not raising taxes on hard-working families. It\u2019s starting to live within our means and trying to get people back to work, getting our economy back open again. Those are the things they should be focused on. It\u2019s not where they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday on Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cMornings with Maria,\u201d Rep.
