Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that while he supports his party’s tax agenda, he cannot support the reconciliation bill if it includes a debt ceiling hike, Politico reports.
Said Paul: “I think if you’re going to raise the debt ceiling $4 or $5 trillion, it indicates that the project afoot isn’t going to fix the deficit at all. Once Republicans vote for this, Republicans are going to own the deficit.”
