WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Brian Babin (TX-36) issued the following statement after voting for the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
“Tonight, I voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act,” said Babin. “Given the reality that only one-half of one-third of the federal government is held by Republicans, it is the most significant conservative win since Joe Biden took office.
“These are the facts: Any bill to address the debt ceiling must go through a Democrat-controlled Senate and White House. That means modifications were always going to be required. Considering the urgency, the Fiscal Responsibility Act is far better than the two alternatives:
- Doing nothing and defaulting, which would cause economic disaster.
- Letting establishment swamp creatures like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, and Hakeem Jefferies pass a 'clean' debt limit bill, giving Joe Biden a blank check courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.
“This bill is not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction toward the goal of bringing fiscal responsibility back to D.C. The work is not finished, and the war is not won. The fight for a safer, stronger, and more prosperous union continues.”
