Armstrong Votes Against Giving Democrats’ Radical Agenda a Blank Check

September 21, 2021

WASHINGTON – Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) released the following statement after voting against H.R. 5305, which would raise the debt ceiling amid Democrat's efforts to pass their $3.5 trillion tax and spend spree.

"Democrats continue their massive government spending spree by pushing through a partisan $3.5 trillion bill that will bring the highest sustained federal spending levels in American history. Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the White House. They have the option to put forward a standalone bill to fund the government. Yet, they want to hide the cost of their enormous tax and spending increases behind a bipartisan debt ceiling increase and funding bill. We cannot afford to give them a blank check for this reckless spending spree. I cannot support facilitating Democrats' efforts to saddle future generations of Americans with more debt to pay for their far-left wish list," said Congressman Armstrong.
