Stutzman on Debt Limit: "American People Can't Afford to Write President Obama a Blank Check"

Statement

Date: Feb. 11, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman, a member of the Financial Services Committee, issued the following statement ahead of today's vote to suspend the nation's debt limit.

"The American people can't afford to write President Obama a blank check. Default isn't an option and that's exactly why the debt limit warns Washington when too much spending threatens our economy and our children. Today, our nation's $17 trillion of debt is the greatest threat to growing a healthy economy but, instead of solving problems, a majority of Washington politicians are ignoring our dependency on debt."
