Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he would use the filibuster rule to prevent Democrat attempts to raise the debt ceiling. In an interview, the Texas senator said Democrats could use reconciliation process at any time to pass their spending wishlists and raise the national debt.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz added Democrats wanted Republican support as a \u201cpolitical cover\u201d to make it look like Joe Biden\u2019s radical spending proposals were passed as a bipartisan effort. He pointed out Republicans should use filibuster and not vote for Democrat spending plans.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) went on to say, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen such an effort to expand the reach of the federal government like we\u2019ve been confronted with this year through not just one reconciliation process, but apparently yet another. \u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let\u2019s be clear: With a Democratic President, a Democratic House, and a Democratic Senate, Democrats have every tool they need to raise the debt limit. It is their sole responsibility. Republicans will not facilitate another reckless, partisan taxing and spending spree.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1438209715742334986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a separate statement, GOP senators stressed they would not vote for any Democrat proposals on national debt and irresponsible spending.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/moderate-democrat-backed-drug-pricing-plan-threatens-to-derail-pelosi-backed-plan\/\">Moderate Democrat-Backed Drug Pricing Plan Threatens To Derail Pelosi-Backed Plan<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Sen.
