D's Go it Alone (Almost) to Raise Debt Ceiling

Democrats say they have a plan to raise the debt ceiling without Republicans. With today's Americans for Limited Government Minute, I'm Catherine Mortensen. The House voted earlier this week to raise the debt ceiling -- over Republican objections. Here's Representative Jason Smith of Missouri:

"We have been clear from the very beginning if Democrats are going to pursue a partisan agenda that adds trillions to the debt, they can find the votes to raise the debt limit themselves. Republicans will not cosign a loan to enact a radical socialist agenda."
But one House Republican DID vote to raise the debt ceiling - Adam Kinzinger of Illinois who two months ago announced he is retiring. In the Senate the vote to raise the debt ceiling is tied to a bill that would protect Medicare from cuts -- it's putting Republicans in between a rock and a hard place. The procedural vote will happen this week and the actual vote to raise the debt ceiling is expected next week.
