Emergency Action: Balance the Budget Vote NO on Raising or Suspending the Debt Ceiling.
This evening Congress is expected to vote on Speaker McCarthy's and President Joe Biden’s deal to suspend the debt ceiling. This MUST NOT happen.
This disastrous deal would effectively give unlimited wasteful spending capabilities to the Federal Government for the next two years through the next presidential election with minimal spending cuts.
Many Republicans and even some Democrats have trashed the agreement and urged fellow members to vote no — though the bill unfortunately cleared a committee hurdle last night.
If it passes the House, the bill will then head to the Senate ahead of a deadline Monday to act or risk default on the nation's debt.
The American People DEMAND Congress balance the budget and learn fiscal responsibility and limit spending.
Spending by Congress at this rate is simply unethical and unsustainable, and it is not aligned with the will of the people. It is essential that Congress reign in the national debt by slashing all spending that does not directly benefit the American people.
