THE ONLY OFFICIAL EMAILS FROM TED BUDD

Friend,

The United States has officially hit its debt limit, and it’s time for serious and concrete fiscal reforms. Democrats want to raise the debt ceiling without cutting any spending, even though government spending increased $10 trillion in the last two years alone!

Senator Ted Budd, alongside Senator Mike Lee, is leading the charge in opposing the debt limit increase without fiscal reforms. Twenty-four Senate Republicans have signed onto the letter to President Biden, pledging not to vote for any bill which will raise the debt limit unless there are cuts in federal spending.

Enough is enough.

Only big-spending Washington politicians think that their debts will go away by borrowing more money without changing their spending habits. They think you won’t ever stop them from taking your money and spending it on their priorities – with no limits in sight.

Will YOU sign the letter as well? Add your name now to show Washington that you demand change.

SIGN HERE

Thank you,
- Team Budd



Read the letter here:

Dear President Biden,

We, the undersigned members of the Senate Republican Conference, write to express our outright opposition to a debt-ceiling hike without real structural spending reform that reduces deficit spending and brings fiscal sanity back to Washington. It is the policy of the Senate Republican Conference “that any increase in the debt ceiling must be accompanied by cuts in federal spending, such as the Prevent Government Shutdown Act or the Full Faith and Credit Act.” We intend to stand by that policy.

Our nation’s fiscal policy is a disaster. Our country owes $31 trillion, a level of debt that now well exceeds the size of our economy. Inflation is making life more expensive for American families every single day. Meanwhile, your administration is directing federal agencies to continue to spend billions in taxpayer resources, expanding the size and scope of the IRS to go after families and small businesses, policing the speech of Americans on social media, funding equity programs in the military, and pouring money into programs for a pandemic that your administration has declared over.

Americans are keenly aware that their government is not only failing to work for them — but actively working against them. We do not intend to vote for a debt-ceiling increase without structural reforms to address current and future fiscal realities, actually enforce the budget and spending rules on the books, and manage out-of-control government policies.

Sincerely,
Mike Lee (R-UT)
