On Thursday morning, the Senate passed a two-year budget deal that raises spending by $320 billion, suspends the debt ceiling for an unprecedented two years, includes no real spending offsets, and exacerbates the nation’s fiscal crisis.
Despite the budget deal’s passage in Congress, and despite the unfortunate fact that President Trump will likely sign this bill into law, NTU would like to applaud the 177 lawmakers who voted against the deal. We especially thank those lawmakers who, in voting against the deal, expressed their desire for a more fiscally responsible bill. With the nation’s debt at $22 trillion and counting, policymakers are running out of time to cut spending and rein in the federal budget.
NTU thanks the following lawmakers:
