A House Democrat on Wednesday called for a “long-term solution” to the impasse over avoiding a debt default later this month in the form of taking the near-annual fight out of the hands of members of Congress altogether…

Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), along with House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), introduced legislation last week that would transfer the duty of raising the debt limit from Congress to the Secretary of the Treasury so that lawmakers wouldn’t have to repeatedly fight over preventing a catastrophic default anymore.

“While I welcome this change in stance from Sen. McConnell, we need a long-term solution to our debt ceiling dysfunction. It’s time to end the debt limit as we know it,” Boyle tweeted Wednesday.
