Local Senators Disapprove Debt Deal

The bipartisan deal to increase the federal government's borrowing limits is now awaiting final approval in the Senate. Three out of our four senators from Pennsylvania and New Jersey are giving it the thumbs down.

Republican PA Senator Pat Toomey said he would vote no because "it simply does not contain meaningful spending cuts." New Jersey Democrats Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg don't like it because they feel the plan does not include any higher taxes on the wealthy or corporations, claiming the middle class and poor will bear most of the burden.

Reluctantly, PA Democrat Bob Casey said he would support the new deal.
