96 Default Democrats President Biden has already attempted to
distance himself from a potential debt default, claiming that he has
"done [his] part" and would be "blameless" if a deal isn't reached in
time.

This weekend, he's leaving Washington, D.C. Yes, really.

For
more than 100 days he ignored calls from Speaker McCarthy to begin
negotiations on a reasonable and responsible debt limit increase. And it
wasn't until House Republicans took action and passed the Limit, Save,
Grow Act, which avoids default, grows the economy, and most importantly,
limits government spending, that he finally decided to come to the
table.

But that's his leadership style for you — ignore a problem
until it becomes a crisis, rinse, and repeat.

It's no secret that
Washington, D.C., has a spending problem. And despite his numerous false
claims that he's lowered the debt, President Biden and Democrats have
already added nearly $6 trillion to it. That spending spree sent
inflation soaring, causing hardship for far too many, and has put our
nation on an unsustainable financial path.

That's why 60% of
Americans say Congress should only raise the debt ceiling if it cuts
spending at the same time.

Democrats can continue to throw around
made-up numbers, debunked claims about Social Security and Medicare, and
veterans benefits or they can get serious.

If not, they'll earn the
new nickname of Default Democrats.

Enjoy this week's newsletter, and
this Memorial Day Weekend, please join me in praying for the fallen,
their families, their loved ones, and for our great country.
Sincerely,
Chairman Kyle Hupfer

 Session Spotlight: SEA 1 This session, there were 252 bills
passed by the legislature and signed by Gov. Holcomb. Over the next
several weeks, this section will be dedicated to highlighting some of
those bills.

The bill: SEA 1 (behavioral health matters), signed May
4, 2023.

The details: SEA 1, together with the state budget,
provides ongoing funding to build out a system of certified behavioral
health clinics, establishing the next step for improving Indiana's
mental health care system.
This legislation follows the implementation
of the 9-8-8 National Suicide and Crisis Line last year. SEA 1 will
help Indiana improve access to mental-health services and
infrastructure, ensuring Hoosiers have access to the resources they
need. The Latest from FactCheckBiden.com Biden has absurdly
claimed that he would be
“[link removed] blameless”
if the U.S. defaulted on its debt.

The facts: Desperate to shift
responsibility from his own failures, Biden attempted to blame
Republicans – despite House Republicans being the only ones who have
taken responsible action and
[link removed]
ill-to-try-to-win-over-gop-holdouts-b1f5df1 passed a debt limit
increase.
Biden hypocritically refused to negotiate for 100 days. See
this [link removed]
timeline graphic from Speaker McCarthy. House Republicans passed a
responsible debt limit increase. Biden hasn’t, and nor have Senate
Democrats. What’s worse, Biden is caving to the far-left of his party,
refusing [link removed] commonsense
proposals he has [link removed]
supported and
[link removed]
applauded in the past while absurdly wanting to
[link removed] spend
more this year than last.  Upcoming Events Across the State
