Washington, DC – On May 31, 2023, Representative Val Hoyle voted against House Republicans’ debt limit scheme and shared the following statement:
“On May 31, 2023, I voted against House Republicans’ debt limit bill that screws over working people. We should be passing a clean bill to pay for what we’ve already bought, exactly as Republicans supported under Reagan and Trump.
Instead, we got a messy bill that guts environmental protections, greenlights a fossil fuel pipeline, strips essential government programs, and takes food from the mouths of the most vulnerable members of our society. I refuse to support a precedent of letting congressional Republicans threaten to tank the U.S. economy by failing to support a clean bill.
House Republicans have no willingness to reverse the Trump tax cuts that reward their millionaire and billionaire donors and leave working people behind. It’s bad policy to drive up costs and refuse to pay the bill when it comes due. This is the opposite of fiscal responsibility, and I won’t go along with their political theater.”
