Mack Opposes GOP Led Cut, Cap and Balance Legislation If It is Tied to Debt Ceiling Increase

WASHINGTON, July 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With the pronouncement today that Congress now only has until July 22 to satisfy President Obama by delivering him a debt ceiling "deal," Florida Congressman Connie Mack (FL-14) called on his GOP colleagues to oppose the vote in the House this Tuesday which would tie an unobtainable Balanced Budget Amendment to a show of support for increasing the debt ceiling.  

Mack stated:  "The House GOP should not fall in line behind a plan that raises the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip to Cut, Cap and Balance our federal budget.  The American people have put their trust again in our party to be guardians of their tax dollars and have no trust in this President or his liberal allies in the Senate to stop wasteful federal spending.  President Obama has yet to present any specific plan to cut federal spending; opting instead to fund ObamaCare at the expense of Social Security and pay to our soldiers.  We need to continue to earn the trust of the American people; and the vote in the House on Tuesday is not the vehicle.  We need to make clear to President Obama that enough is enough and insist he bring real spending reform, not rhetoric to the table thus avoiding any need to increase the debt ceiling."
