#shorts On 5/24/2023, Steve Scalise on House Floor said, “Or maybe my colleagues on the other side are having buyer’s remorse, or should I say voters’ remorse, that every single one of them voted against addressing the debt ceiling over a month ago when we brought that bill to the floor.

Now, Madam Speaker, there is a remedy. If anyone in this chamber, including my friends on the other side, would like to see this problem addressed, they should go over to the Senate side. Or frankly, there’s no one there. They should get on the phone and call the Democrat Senators who run the Senate and chose to be out this whole week because they took this so seriously. Or call the White House and ask the president why he took 97 days off after the first meeting with Speaker McCarthy when the speaker was ready to negotiate.

We’re still here. We have done our job. We have acted. We are, in fact, the only body in this town who has actually taken steps to address the debt ceiling and the spending problem in Washington. I would encourage the Senate to take up the bill. I would encourage the president to get engaged and address this problem, but we already have the votes on the board.

I asked, “Let the house be in order and there be some decorum on the other side.”
