WASHINGTON, D.C.– Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-26) released the following statement on the House passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
"After President Biden and Democrat Leader Schumer wasted months refusing to accept anything other than a 'clean' debt ceiling increase, House Republicans–under the leadership of Speaker McCarthy–reached a debt ceiling compromise that cuts back unnecessary, out-of-control government spending, while protecting our nation's seniors, veterans, and most vulnerable. Although not perfect, I commend Speaker McCarthy for leading the fight and forcing Democrats to the negotiating table. The Fiscal Responsibility Act reduces inflationary discretionary spending, claws back billions in unspent COVID dollars, slashes funding for Biden's army of IRS agents, secures NEPA reforms to streamline the permitting process and lower energy costs, reins in government overreach, and, most importantly, avoids a default on our national debt."
