Democrats lashed out at House Republicans for passing a bill with deep spending cuts in exchange for raising the nation's debt limit
Representative Josh Gottheimer rejected Republican demands to raise the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling only in exchange for deep spending.

Similar calls have come from Senators Joe Manchin and Amy Klobuchar, and from House Democrats including Debbie Dingell, Jared Moskowitz and Greg Landsman.
