In the last three decades, which party has consistently raised or suspended the debt limit without implementing any serious reforms to curtail deficit spending? Whichever party has been in power. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) September 21, 2021
In the last three decades, which party has consistently raised or suspended the debt limit without implementing any serious reforms to curtail deficit spending?
Brian Riedl writes at The Daily Beast, "Both parties play this game. During the George W. Bush presidency, there were three times in which a fully Republican-controlled government had to raise the debt limit. House and Senate Democrats cumulatively voted against these bills at a 98.8 percent rate. Schumer and Pelosi voted against each of those debt limit hikes, as did then-Senator Barack Obama. When the Democrats took Congress in 2007, the parties essentially reversed their votes on the debt limit.
Later, during the Obama and Trump presidencies, securing a bipartisan debt limit vote typically required giving the minority party some key policy priority within the legislation...
In short, every time this century that Republicans have had full control of the White House and Congress, Democrats have overwhelmingly voted against raising the debt limit unless it was attached to legislation that contained significant liberal priorities."
