Ms. FOXX. I want to thank Mr. Ryan.
There is a group of Democrats here who came to be fiscal conservatives. They call themselves the Blue Dogs. They have a budget reform plan, a good budget reform plan. Point 7 of the Blue Dogs 12-point budget reform plan calls for not hiding votes on the debt limit increase.
Yet a vote for this conference report is a vote to automatically raise, without a separate vote, the national debt by $850 billion. Where are the Blue Dogs today? They are not here on the floor talking for this. Where will they be when we have this vote?
