Diaz-Balart: Democrats cut up your credit cards

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) joins his colleagues in passing a resolution to cut spending that will direct committees to cut non-security discretionary spending to pre-bailout, pre-stimulus levels and put an end to the spending spree. Diaz-Balart comments:

“Today’s resolution, to reduce spending for the remainder of the fiscal year is essential in order to counteract the repercussions of Democrats’ out-of-control spending. Democrats added approximately $3.37 trillion to the National Debt during the past two years; if they want Americans to pay their bills, they must agree to cut up their credit cards. Our country’s public debt amounts to 62 percent of our economy and for every dollar spent more than 40 cents are borrowed, these numbers are simply unacceptable and must stop now. These choices are necessary to put the nation on a path to job creation, economic prosperity and fiscal responsibility.”

“Americans are struggling to find jobs, now more than ever, taxpayers need to keep money in their pockets. We need to cure Washington from the disease that has controlled it over the past two years.”
