WASHINGTON — Republican US congressman Dave Camp introduced legislation Tuesday to raise the US debt ceiling but he plans to vote against it because he also wants the bill to include drastic budget cuts.

"Let me be clear: I do not support and will not vote for a debt limit increase that does not contain significant spending cuts and budgetary reforms. Our current path is unsustainable and unacceptable," said Camp, of Michigan.

"We must force Washington to live within its means, and any deal on the debt limit should include real reforms including entitlement programs like Medicare."

"The legislation I filed today will allow the House to reject a clean increase in the debt limit proving to the American people, the financial markets and the Administration that we (Republicans) are serious about tackling our debt and deficit problems," Camp told lawmakers.
