This bill raises the statutory limit on the public debt (the “debt ceiling”) by whatever amount is necessary to reach May 19th, 2013. Although the bill theoretically contains a “no budget, no pay” provision conditional upon the Senate passing a budget resolution, in reality the provision has no teeth. FreedomWorks insists that further increases in the debt ceiling by accompanied by proportional decreases in federal spending in order to address the ever-increasing federal debt, which at the time of this bill stood at $16.4 trillion. Instead, this bill amounts to a “clean” debt ceiling hike, accompanied by the unenforceable promise of spending reforms at a later date.
