Why Scott voted against H. R. 3746

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, a hopeful for the next Republication nomination for President, voted against the resolution that raises the debt limit. Without the Senate’s final vote of 63-36, the U-S risked an economically disastrous default days before Monday’s deadline. But, in a statement from Washington, Scott said, “If we don’t want our nation to default, we need to rein in Democrats’ out-of-control, inflationary spending — and this deal doesn’t do that.”
