                          DEBT CEILING CRISIS

  (Mrs. DINGELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I call on my Republican colleagues today 
to stop holding our Nation's economy hostage.
  It is dangerous, and it is unconscionable knowing the devastating 
impact it is going to have on American working families.
  Kim from Van Buren Township in my district called my office yesterday 
scared. She is in the process of buying a house and thinks she should 
stop because she is worried that the Nation's economy is going to tank.
  She reflects the American people and their concerns, but Republicans 
will be posting messages of support for veterans on social media this 
weekend

while advocating for a plan that will abandon all of those veterans and 
their families at the moment they need their country most.
  I am staying. I am missing my goddaughter's wedding because I have a 
job to do.
  Where are Republicans?
