Diaz-Balart on Unconditionally Raising the Debt Limit

May 31, 2011

Washington, D.C. –Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement in response to the House vote on H.R. 1954, to implement the President’s request to increase the debt limit. Diaz-Balart comments:

“President Obama and his allies in Congress insist on more borrowing and more spending by voting to unconditionally raise the debt limit. Raising the debt limit without significant spending cuts and reforms would be utterly irresponsible. I did not vote for this bill because it bankrupts our country and continues kicking the can down the road, leaving our children and grandchildren with unmanageable debt.”
