WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Budget Committee, issued the following statement after voting against Democrats’ bill to increase the debt ceiling today:
“We just got terrible economic numbers last week with inflation hitting nearly 7%, the highest in 40 years. Amidst a background of Biden’s supply chain crisis and skyrocketing prices everywhere, the last thing Democrats should be doing is increasing the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion to pay for even more inflationary spending. Voting no on raising the debt ceiling without structural reforms to deal with underlying problem was an easy decision. Their spending is completely out-of-control and I will not be party to this reckless and irresponsible behavior,” said Senator Cramer.
