(Photo by Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:15 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, September 15, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Republicans will continue to stand against raising the debt limit. McConnell\u2019s comments came on Tuesday as many worry if the debt limit is raised it will give Democrats the ability to push through their partisan $3.5 trillion spending package. McConnell said Democrats have continually argued they want to do things without Republican support except when it comes to the debt limit.<\/p>\n<p>While Democrats could raise the debt limit by including legislation in the partisan spending package, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have both opposed the option. Ultimately, meaning the only way Democrats would be able to raise it would be through bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Democrats have continued to question why Republicans won\u2019t agree. However, McConnell said the real issue isn\u2019t because it \u201cdoesn\u2019t need to be done\u201d but rather the extreme spending agenda that\u2019s concerning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWashington Democrats have spent trillions, trillions of dollars on pet liberal projects. They\u2019ve been pruning and wasting money like there\u2019s no tomorrow and American families are hurting as a result,\u201d stressed McConnell.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Join us as the Senate Republican leadership team speaks live with the press.<\/p>\n<p>Tune in here \u2935\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gHCQHdJxQK\">https:\/\/t.co\/gHCQHdJxQK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senate Republicans (@SenateGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenateGOP\/status\/1437843857840955392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has reasserted his opposition to increasing the U.S. national debt, saying American taxpayers aren\u2019t willing to pay for it. Scott told reporters on Tuesday that Democrat proposals to buy treasury bonds are foolish amid a stand-off 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. The senator has previously criticized what he called the \u201creckless tax and spending agenda\u201d by the Democrats. Scott also stressed U.S. taxpayers don\u2019t support Democrat fiscal proposals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t understand why the federal government can continue to just borrow money, borrow money, borrow money, when they can\u2019t do it in their own personal lives?
