On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on the resolution to raise the debt limit by $2.5 trillion, S.J.Res. 33.
While campaigning for president, Joe Biden told us he would unite the country. Biden said that if he was elected, he would heal our national divide and “restore the soul of America.” He assured voters that he would govern like a moderate, listening to the concerns of both Republicans and Democrats.
Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is ringing alarm bells, trying to shame Republicans into voting to raise the federal debt ceiling. In a Wall Street journal op-ed, she argues: “The U.S. has always paid its bills on time and the overwhelming consensus among economists and Treasury officials of both parties is that failing to raise the debt ceiling would produce widespread economic catastrophe.”
The bill would blatantly disregard the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 that requires Congress to adhere to budget caps – This bill goes above and beyond, busting the caps by nearly $300 billion over two years, more than twice that of the past two, two-year deals combined
On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and tell him or her to vote NO on the Continuing Appropriations Act, H.R. 601. The bill would increase the debt limit and fund the federal government through December 8 without any spending or regulatory reforms. There are no guarantees that the situation will be any different when Congress revisits the issue in December.
