MADISON, Wis. — As the deadline to raise the country's borrowing limit looms, U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil joins his fellow Republicans in calling for federal spending cuts before raising the debt ceiling.
"We're going to have an opportunity here to raise the debt ceiling responsibly by saving taxpayers money, limiting the growth of future government, and really growing our economy," Steil said.
"Those are the principles I think all Americans should be able to rally around to make sure that we're being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars," he added.
