Debt Ceiling Deal
While I was pleased to see many needed provisions in the debt limit deal, H.R. 3746 does not go far enough to get America’s fiscal house in order. The most significant threat to our national security is our debt, and any action to address the debt limit must be accompanied by appreciable reforms and cuts. This debt limit deal fell short of making those needed changes.
H.R. 3746 suspends the debt limit until January 2025, after the next presidential election. This approach, far from exhibiting fiscal responsibility, does not provide a long-term solution to prevent a repeat of our current financial predicament when the suspension ends.
