In a bold and comprehensive analysis, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has dismantled the controversial Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling deal, emphasizing her refusal to support the agreement. The contentious deal between President Biden and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has been criticized by conservatives for failing to address key issues and for “selling out our kids and grandkids.”

Mace’s argument outlines the numerous faults she finds within this debt ceiling deal, most prominently the fact that it does not actually cut spending as 63% of Americans supposedly desire. Instead, this deal perpetuates and grows government spending by utilizing the historically high spending levels from the COVID-19 pandemic as a baseline for future spending. Disillusioned, Mace calls out the deal’s lack of a concrete debt limit, its reliance on clawing back unspent COVID funds, and its false promises regarding tax cuts and social welfare programs.

Beyond the failings of the specific provisions, Mace paints a picture of Washington as corrupt and broken, with special carve-outs for legislators like Sen. Joe Manchin and a disregard for sensible fiscal policy. The congresswoman calls for change, warning that Washington’s irresponsible handling of taxpayer dollars will not change unless the people demand it.

As Republicans increasingly reject this debt ceiling deal, perhaps it’s time for a more conscientious and pragmatic approach to fiscal policy that places the wishes and well-being of the American people above political gamesmanship.
