Diaz-Balart statement on the Senate Democrat's failure to pass a bill to raise the debt ceiling limit

Washington, D.C. –Today Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) issued the following statement after the House passed a revised version of the Budget Control Act of 2011. Diaz-Balart comments:

“The Senate Democrats have demonstrated an immense level of irresponsibility and have turned their backs on the American people by failing to pass any of the two bills passed by the House, or any bill for that matter, that would raise the debt ceiling limit. The ball continues to be in their court; they must act, or face the consequences of not raising the debt limit and causing America to default.”
