“A debt ceiling can be very useful,” Rep. Josh Brecheen said. “If we don’t turn the trajectory of this nation, we are going to leave our kids and our grandkids nothing but dependency and debt.” Freshman Republican makes the case for deep spending cuts:

The pitch by Brecheen, 43, a rancher and former state senator who swept to victory in November on an antidebt message, reflects the intensity of the Republican determination to use a coming confrontation over the federal debt — which is projected to exceed the government’s ability to finance it as early as June — to extract spending concessions from President Joe Biden and Democrats.
A frequent quoter of President Ronald Reagan and former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Brecheen is in many ways a traditional “small government” conservative — someone who rattles off the 18 powers of Congress enumerated in the Constitution as proof that the founders wanted a lean federal government. “Without telling you I’m never going to fund what’s going on in Ukraine,” Brecheen answered in Okmulgee, “let me just say it’s going to be a tooth-pulling exercise to get me to vote for funding for that.”“He’s a traitor,” a woman standing in the back shouted, beginning a tirade, as another man called out: “Make sure it’s a one-way ticket!”
