Debt Ceiling
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first, before I get into the substance of
my remarks, I just heard Leader McConnell's statements on debt ceiling.
The leader's statements on debt ceiling are shameless, cynical, and
totally political. This debt is Trump debt. It is COVID debt. Democrats
joined three times during the Trump administration to do the
responsible thing. The bottom line is that Leader McConnell should not
be playing political games with the full faith and credit of the United
States. Americans pay their debts.
