Estes Votes Against Raising Debt Ceiling | 2021-12-15 | 2021 | 2021-12 | Republican | House | KS | Ron Estes | E000298 | estes.house.gov | estes | https://estes.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON – Last night Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) voted against increasing the debt limit by $2.5 trillion. "Washington continues to waste taxpayer dollars without any desire to curb spending or live within their means," said Rep. Estes. "Every second, the United States borrows approximately $47,000 – nearly the median household income for Kansans. Increasing the debt ceiling while also trying to push trillions more in unnecessary spending is irresponsible, which is why I voted against burdening current and future generations with $31,500,000,000,000 in debt." The Senate passed the debt limit measure 50-49 along party lines, with the House passing the bill 221-209 mostly along party lines. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
