WASHINGTON--U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement after voting against raising the debt ceiling.
"After five years of out-of-control White House spending, including a jobless, trillion-dollar stimulus, now is hardly the time to give the President carte blanche to continue his spending spree. I voted against raising the debt ceiling because we need sensible reforms to cut down on spending and restrain Washington going forward."
