Rep. Boebert Blasts Democrats for Raising the Debt Limit and Continuing Reckless Spending
Rep. Boebert blasted House Democrats for passing H.R. 5304, legislation that raises the debt limit through suspension of the debt ceiling and continues Biden’s reckless spending spree.
Rep Boebert stated: “We just gave tens of billions of dollars in U.S. weapons to the Taliban and now Democrats have removed funds for the Iron Dome in Israel and put our closet ally at risk. Shameful.
“Furthermore, America is nearly $30 trillion in debt and soaring inflation has significantly increased the price of gasoline, milk, beef, propane, clothing, hotel stays and even bacon. Inflation is taxation and taxation is theft that takes more money out of hard-working Americans’ pocket books. Biden and his partisan hacks have no plan to tackle America’s spending addiction and get our fiscal house in order. Shamefully, House Democrats voted to suspend the debt ceiling, without any fiscal reforms, till after the November 2022 elections, and they want a blank check to continue their reckless spending. H.R. 5304 ensures career politicians will once again be voting for ‘must-pass’ legislation right before Christmas to spend trillions of dollars on bills that no one ever reads so they can skip town and make it home for Christmas. Shamefully, Biden and Pelosi are attempting to spend nearly $10 trillion this year alone. Our children shouldn’t be saddled with trillions of dollars of more debt and forced to pay for Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi’s extreme agenda. Congress needs to stop kicking the proverbial spending can down the road and make the hard decisions necessary to rein in our debt and balance the federal budget.”
