Take action: The debt ceiling is not a political bargaining chip

The U.S. could hit the debt limit as soon as June 1. It's time to take a stand for fiscal responsibility and expose House Republicans' cynical tactics for what they are: a blatant attempt to hold America's financial future hostage to their narrow political agenda.

With the United States' economic future hanging in the balance, the Senate must pass a clean funding bill to extend the debt limit—raising the debt ceiling without attaching any unrelated policy changes or spending cuts. Passing debt ceiling legislation without strings is crucial because the debt ceiling is not about new spending but rather about honoring the obligations we’ve already made as a nation.
