The Senate approved a two-year budget deal on Thursday that lifts strict caps on spending by hundreds of millions of dollars and raises the nation’s borrowing authority -- known as the debt ceiling -- a rare bipartisan agreement crafted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin that kicks the delicate issues past the 2020 election.
“To allow the debt ceiling to go up an infinite amount, as much as Congress can possibly spend and borrow, over a nearly two-year period is fiscally irresponsible and has never been seen in our history,” Paul said to his colleagues Thursday. “This may well be the most fiscally irresponsible thing we've done in the history of the United States,” Paul said.
Wow. Just wow.
