DeSantis Stands up for Fiscal Responsibility and Less Debt

Statement

Date: Oct. 28, 2015
Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-FL) voted yesterday against the budget deal that eliminates billions in cuts from the 2011 debt limit agreement and raises the debt limit by $1.5 trillion. DeSantis released the following statement:

"The budget bill is the perfect encapsulation of why so many Americans are frustrated with Washington: it was crafted in secret, unveiled less than 48 hours before the vote, and relies on phony budget and accounting gimmicks to mask its startling level of fiscal irresponsibility," said Congressman DeSantis."Because of this bill, our debt will reach nearly $20 trillion, $150 billion will be pilfered from Social Security, and President Obama will receive tens of billion of dollars for his pet projects. It's like giving a shopaholic an unlimited credit card. This is what you call "business as usual in Washington, D.C.'"
