McConnell\u2019s comments came on Tuesday as many have worried if the debt limit was raised, it would give Democrats the ability to push through their partisan $3.5 trillion spending package.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell added Democrats have continually argued they wanted to do things without Republican support, except when it came to the debt limit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, republicans won\u2019t have any input into the massive, reckless taxing and spending spree that will stick middle class families with higher cost, lower wages and a socialist country they didn\u2019t vote for, but Democrats do want Republicans help with just one thing,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey want us to help raise the credit limit to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats have every tool they need to address the debt limit on their own. Just like they plan to bury Americans in taxing, spending, &amp; inflation on a partisan basis.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have unified control &amp; brag about the radicalism they\u2019re ramming through. So they&#8217;ll be on their own.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1437864437499711488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition, Sen. Rick Scott reasserted his opposition to increasing the U.S. national debt by saying taxpayers were not willing to pay for it. The senator from Florida told reporters on Tuesday, Democrat proposals to buy treasury bonds were \u201cfoolish\u201d amid a standoff over raising the debt ceiling in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Scott appeared to suggest U.S. bonds may go down in value due to political uncertainty moving forward. He had previously criticized what he called the \u201creckless tax and spend agenda\u201d by the Democrats.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden promised he wouldn&#8217;t raise taxes on Americans making less than $400K. <\/p>\n<p>But under his &amp; the Democrats\u2019 $5.5T spending spree, Americans earning over $50K will see tax INCREASES by 2031. It&#8217;s time the Dems face the facts.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BidensBrokenPromises?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BidensBrokenPromises<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rick Scott (@SenRickScott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRickScott\/status\/1437890605422632966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Scott also stressed U.S. taxpayers did not support Democrat fiscal proposals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t understand why the federal government can continue to just borrow money\u2026 when they can\u2019t even do it in their own personal lives,\u201d he asserted. \u201c\u2026Why doesn\u2019t the Biden administration care about this inflation that\u2019s happening? They see their gas prices are up, their food prices are up, their car prices are up and the Biden administration does nothing about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott went on to say Democrat proposals would take the national debt to $45 trillion dollars, which America could not pay for. If funding legislation wasn\u2019t passed by the end of September, the government could face a shut down.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-hawley-vowed-to-delay-confirmation-process-for-biden-state-dept-dod-nominees-until-blinken-austin-resign\/\">Sen.
