Wis. delegation -- except Moore -- votes against debt ceiling increase
U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, was the only member of the Wisconsin’s House delegation to support lifting the nation’s debt ceiling without any accompanying spending cuts.
The GOP proposal, rejected 318-97 yesterday, was designed to fail, and chief sponsor, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said it was meant to send a message that the nation’s debt must be reined in.
