MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — There’s plenty of dissatisfaction in Congress with the debt ceiling deal.
Wisconsin Republican Glenn Grothman expressed frustration that the bill would only impose work requirements on food stamps.
“They left low-income housing untouched. I think as far as discouraging work and discouraging marriage, I think low-income housing is even a more dangerous program than the food stamps,” said Grothman. “So I’m including low-income housing in the mix of having work requirements.”
Grothman spoke on Tuesday, as the deal narrowly passed the House Rules Committee on a 7-6 vote.
The full House is expected to vote Wednesday on the bill to raise the nation’s debt ceiling.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy is counting on support from Democrats, but some on the left are also opposed to the bill.
