Statement

Date: July 29, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Today Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) issued the following statement after Senator Reid along with Senate Democrats voted to table the House-passed Budget Control Act. 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."
