                              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.
