House conservative leader rips media for ‘irrational’ debt ceiling coverage, vows ‘serious fiscal reform’

The chairman of the RSC tore into the press for its hysterical coverage of the debt ceiling, and told his members the GOP would insist on spending cuts before allowing more borrowing.
"Despite the clear and present danger our country faces from its unsustainable debt, a souring economy, and historic inflation, the media wants to hide the American people the truth – we as a nation must reduce spending and usher in serious fiscal reform," Hern added.

The U.S. hit the debt ceiling on Thursday, which means the government cannot borrow anything above the $31.381 trillion it has borrowed so far. House Republicans have said they would require deep spending cuts as a condition for raising the ceiling, but the Biden administration has said it will not negotiate.
