Sen. Mike Lee: ‘It’s Bad Policy to Tie Debt Ceiling Increases with Hurricane Relief Bills’

‘I think it would be much better if we broke these into digestible pieces so that they can be debated as discussed’

EXCERPT:

LEE: "I don't know, but I do know it's bad policy to tie debt ceiling increases with hurricane relief bills, with spending bills. When you lump all these decisions into one, the lines of accountability from each elected official back to his or her constituents gets blurred. That's why I think it would be much better if we broke these into digestible pieces and allow them to be debated and discussed separately so the American people can have a say of what goes on in their government."
