Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:47 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, September 22, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Measures to prevent a government shutdown passed in the House and are now headed to the Senate. In a party line vote Tuesday, all House Democrats supported a bill to fund the government through the beginning of December. The bill also suspends the debt ceiling until the end of 2022.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cOn this vote, the yeas are 220 and the nays are 211 with zero answering present. The bill has passed.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Rep. Frank Mrvan, (D-Ind.). <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the lower chamber before passage, the bill was criticized by many Republicans. Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) took to the House floor to slam Democrats for trying to force it through. He believes they know they are on the way out from the majority at the midterms, so they need to spend now before they are seen as responsible for the strife a spending spree will cause.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This bill is the largest display of anti-workforce, pro-amnesty, anti-domestic energy, expansion of healthcare and free education that we have ever seen. We simply cannot afford this reckless irresponsible spending.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Congressman Dan Meuser (@RepMeuser) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepMeuser\/status\/1440408414245425153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meuser also said the Democrats are trying to get Republicans to sign onto a socialist wishlist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is nothing short of Big Government socialism, suffocating free market capitalism while this bill works its way through Congress,\u201d he stated. \u201cDemocrats are asking Republicans to sign a blank check for their reckless spending. The Democrats are asking us to suspend the debt ceiling for the remainder of their time in the majority to finance reckless spending while we stand on the sidelines, which we\u2019re not going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats do not seem to see the hazards of more spending. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said the bill is necessary to avoid a shutdown and continue providing necessary services to those affected by natural disasters. He also said that a default of U.S. debt would be disastrous for the global economy, which the debt bill solves by suspending the debt ceiling.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">At my weekly pen &amp; pad, I told press that the House will take up a CR to prevent a shutdown &amp; authorize emergency funding for disaster relief &amp; resettling our Afghan allies. It will also suspend the debt limit through Dec. \u201822, ensuring America can pay its bills on time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steny Hoyer (@LeaderHoyer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderHoyer\/status\/1440363846284103689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hoyer believes nobody in the House should vote against the bill as the high debt is the fault of Democrats and Republicans alike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a Democratic debt, it\u2019s not a Republican debt,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt is our debt\u2026is the debt of the United States of America. We don\u2019t welch on our debts. We pay our debts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Passing through the House, the bill now goes to the evenly divided Senate where it is expected to meet stiff opposition. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been adamant that Republicans should not vote to raise the ceiling. Democrats, so says the Kentucky Republican, need to own the inflation that will follow an increase in debt.<\/p>\n<p>While working with Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), McConnell proposed an alternative short-term solution, which would continue funding the government and avoid a shutdown without raising the debt ceiling. He said the U.S. must provide disaster relief and assistance for Afghans.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, should the House-backed plan overcome the filibuster in the Senate, it would fund the government through December 3 and suspend the debt ceiling until after the 2022 midterms. If lawmakers can not agree, they risk a government shut down October 1.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/nyc-business-owners-say-enough-is-enough-regarding-vaccine-mandate\/\">NYC Business Owners Say Enough Is Enough Regarding Vaccine Mandate<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., leaves the chamber during debate on a bill to avert a government shutdown and suspend the debt limit, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-802459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=802459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=802459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=802459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
