Key Vote Alert – “NO” on Trump-Democrat Debt Ceiling Deal
KEY VOTE ALERT
“NO” on Trump-Democrat Debt Ceiling Deal
The Club for Growth opposes the Trump-Democrat debt ceiling deal and urges all members of Congress to vote NO on it. A vote is expected this week. The vote will be included in the Club’s 2017 congressional scorecard.
This deal includes unfunded disaster relief, a “clean” debt ceiling increase, the reauthorization of several unnecessary and/or unconstitutional programs, and a “kick the can down the road” continuing resolution. None of this is good policy. It is simply a scheme to delay the consideration of making tough decisions.
Our Congressional Scorecard for the 115th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to our members and to the public.
