as “leverage” in negotiations with the White House.
In 2019, then-Speaker Pelosi demanded that any debt ceiling suspension be paired with an increase in discretionary budget caps. She said, “when we lift the caps, then we can talk about lifting the debt ceiling.”
And last but not least, then-Senator Biden had this to say in 1984, shortly before he voted against raising the debt limit: “I cannot agree to vote for a full increase in the debt without any assurance that steps will be taken early next year to reduce the alarming increase in the deficits and the debt.”
