WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) today issued the following statement:

“While far from perfect, this is the best deal conservatives could have hoped for given the reality that Democrats control the White House and Senate. This deal finally puts an end to the Democrats’ reckless tax and spending spree by cutting spending by a record $1.5 trillion, moving more Americans from welfare to the workforce, and shutting down President Biden’s planned $5 trillion tax hike. This is a far better outcome than the alternative: defaulting for the first time in our nation’s history, a catastrophe that would have decimated our economy, caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, and made our debt crisis far worse.”
