This past Wednesday, the Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling "deal" passed... thanks largely to Democrats coming in at the last moment to defeat conservatives.

In fact, more Democrats voted for the Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling fiasco than Republicans, and that should tell you all you need to know.

Our own Congressman Ken Buck characterized it best by saying on Newsmax, "Speaker McCarthy couldn't even get this bill on the floor, he couldn't pass a procedural rule, without Democrat support [...] this is a disgrace and the American people understand when you increase our national debt by 4 trillion dollars you are doing the Democrats' bidding."

The Colorado Republican Party thanks Congressman Ken Buck and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert for forcefully and publicly opposing this debt scheme that the Washington establishment and special interest insiders forced on us.

Below is a good graphic on why this so-called "deal" was bad for Colorado and the American people. Pay close attention to the highlights listed in the right column that shows the 4 trillion dollar increase Democrats got out of the deal.

Congresswoman Boebert said it best, "No sensible conservative can vote for this."

We couldn't agree more and, again, this is not why the American people elected Republicans into the majority, and it's another reason why hard-working taxpayers lose faith in the leaders of our party. 

Republican leaders must keep their word to rein in out-of-control spending and stop increases in big-government... but unfortunately not every Republican will.

Deceptively, Congressman Doug Lamborn broke his word and voted to increase our debt while helping Joe Biden continue to fleece American taxpayers.

Here are samples of Lamborn claiming to be on our side for over a decade that show his hypocrisy after voting to pass the Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling surrender:

• “If we do not change the status quo our country’s in trouble. And I’m not going to stand by and let that happen.” (2011)

• "Democrats cannot continue kicking the can down the road with reckless spending and out-of-touch policies that have catapulted our economy into a recession." (2022)

• "Any increase in our national debt must be tied to spending reforms and deficit reductions. We cannot keep marching down the same path that adds to the debt burden of our children and grandchildren." (2014)

• “I am disappointed President Obama and Senate Democrats resisted every effort House Republicans put forward to reform government spending and bring more fairness to middle class Americans stuck with the cost of ObamaCare. But our cause is worth fighting for and I will continue to fight reckless spending in Washington." (2013)

• "It is time for Congress to prioritize its spending to our nation’s most pressing needs. With the national debt over $13 trillion, the government cannot afford to give handouts to corporations on a silver platter any longer." (2010)

Colorado Republicans are fed up with say-anything politicians like Doug Lamborn who say one thing to gain power but then do the opposite when they think no one is paying attention. 

Our national debt has increased exponentially and we need Republicans in Congress who will actually fight back against this crisis and stop the madness instead of paying lip service.

Colorado Republicans thank every lawmaker who opposed this disastrous Biden-McCarthy debt scheme. Below is a list of House Republicans who opposed this bad deal along with Colorado's own Buck and Boebert. Please be sure to send them a note of appreciation. 

For America's financial well-being,

Dave Williams
Chairman, Colorado Republicans
