Oppose debt ceiling hike without fiscal reforms
To: Rep. Hern
From: A constituent in Tulsa, OK
December 20, 2024
This bill aims to recklessly increase government borrowing without any commitment to fiscal restraint or reforms. It fails to address the root causes of unsustainable deficit spending and merely kicks the can down the road. Opposing this short-sighted measure is prudent to force meaningful negotiations on reining in out-of-control debt before agreeing to raise the borrowing limit further. The American people deserve better than can-kicking and reckless disregard for fiscal responsibility from their leaders. I implore you to take a principled stand against perpetuating this cycle of debt ceiling crises by opposing this legislation. Only by holding the line can we compel serious efforts to cut wasteful spending, reform unsustainable entitlement programs, and implement overdue fiscal reforms to put America on sound financial footing for future generations.
