If you haven't heard, Speaker Kevin McCarthy struck a deal with Joe Biden to increase the debt ceiling... and unfortunately it's a terrible deal that should be rejected by every Republican in Congress.
This so-called "deal" is a sweetheart agreement between the Washington establishment and special interest insiders to keep the status quo while allowing radical Democrats a pass on defending their reckless spending in the 2024 election cycle.
To be frank, this is not why the American people elected Republicans into the majority, and it's another reason why hard-working taxpayers are losing faith in the leaders of our party.
Republican leaders should be keeping their word to rein in out-of-control spending and the increase in big-government from Joe Biden and his lapdog Democrats.
To that end, please give a thank you to both Congressman Ken Buck and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert for opposing this debt ceiling compromise.
Congressman Buck stated he is, "appalled by the debt ceiling surrender.” He went on to say “the bottom line is that the U.S. will have $35 trillion of debt in January, 2025. That is completely unacceptable."
Congresswoman Boebert was just as adamant in her opposition. She said, "Our base didn't volunteer, door knock and fight so hard to get us the majority for this kind of compromise deal with Joe Biden. Our voters deserve better than this. We work for them. You can count me as a NO on this deal. We can do better."
Again, this is what Colorado Republicans expect from our elected leaders and we couldn't be more proud of Ken Buck and Lauren Boebert for standing strong on this critical issue.
