The measure was narrowly approved in the House of Representatives as Democratic and Republican leaders prepare to sit down with President Joe Biden about the debt ceiling next week. Buck talks about his stance on the debt limit and possible solutions he would support on "Colorado Point of View" this week. Buck suggests raising the retirement ageDespite never voting to suspend or expand the nation’s debt limit, Buck...
