Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) on May 31 voted for and the House passed H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
The Fiscal Responsibility Act will temporarily raise the debt limit until Jan. 1, 2025, while cutting overall spending and non-defense spending.
Edwards released the following statement:
“Most Americans agree that the spending spree in Washington is reckless and out of control. The Fiscal Responsibility Act, while not perfect and not everything I wanted, represents the largest spending rollback from any Congress in U.S. history - $2.1 trillion.
“At the same time, it prevents our nation from missing payments on our loans, which would propel us into a global economic recession, something WNC working families cannot afford.
“This legislation is a huge win for conservatives, especially when we face the harsh reality that House Republicans control a razor-thin majority while President Biden occupies the White House and Chuck Schumer controls the Senate.”
