Top House Republican signals GOP lawmakers won't support lifting the debt ceiling
A top House Republican indicated that GOP lawmakers are unlikely to support lifting the debt ceiling and instead put the onus on Democrats to do so, raising the risk of a perilous showdown that could engulf both chambers of Congress this fall.
Rep. Kevin Brady, ranking Republican on House Ways and Means, said in a Monday interview that Republicans were growing frustrated with Democrats circumventing them on a $1.9 trillion stimulus law using a legislative tactic known as reconciliation. They're also poised to muscle through a multitrillion social spending plan on their own.
"Considering they haven't had a single conversation about spending, stimulus or the debt with us to date, I think they, by their behavior, have taken responsibility on passing this by themselves," Brady told Insider in a Monday night interview.
The Texas Republican went on: "Unless they have a conversation with Republicans, certainly there won't be Republican support in the House. Take it or leave it, no conversations, no working together - it's their responsibility, unfortunately."

Remind me again, how many trillions did the Republicans spend on tax cuts for those who don't need them?
