Democrats are expanding their attacks against the Republican-backed debt limit bill passed earlier this week, this time accusing the GOP of voting to reduce the number of Border Patrol agents stationed at the southern border as a way to cut government spending.
The House earlier this week passed Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s budget proposal that would raise the debt ceiling into next year in exchange for limiting government spending in a number of areas — prompting an outcry from Democrats who say the bill would eliminate crucial programs for political gain.
The latest attack comes as both Republicans and Democrats seek to use the debt ceiling to target the opposite party, especially ahead of the 2024 election cycle. Meanwhile, Democrats are targeting House Republicans for voting in favor of the debt ceiling hike that included roughly $130 billion in spending cuts — accusing the GOP of gutting crucial government programs that voters depend on.
