U.S. Senator Todd Young: “I’m a ‘No’ vote on raising the debt limit.”
Washington Post: “The hypocrisy is stunning. McConnell has voted to increase or suspend the debt limit 32 times, including thrice under Trump, who added $7.8 trillion to the debt
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Democratic Party, the organization that advocates for the future of Indiana and its families, called out U.S. Senators Todd Young and Mike Braun for their partisan hypocrisy about the ongoing debt limit and national debt conversations happening in Washington, D.C. The senators’ political grandstanding occurred last night when every Republican in the U.S. Senate – including Braun and Young – voted “NO” on a bill that would’ve suspended the debt limit and prevented a government shutdown from taking place.
Congressional Indiana Republicans’ opposition and willingness to allow the nation default on its debts is the worst form of extreme partisanship and a political flip-flop after they voted to raise the debt limit three times under the Trump Administration. Further, this conversation is not rooted in reality considering Indiana Republicans voted for the $2.3 trillion tax law and had a hand at raising the national debt by $7.8 trillion under the four years of the Trump Administration.
Reminder: Indiana Republicans will try to use national spending as a campaign issue for the 2022 midterm and 2024 elections, and accountability for their strategy to lie to voters is essential. Further, the INGOP is showing once again how they are a political party without a moral compass or identity.
