| https://spartz.house.gov/media/press-releases/spartz-it-will-take-bold-and-decisive-leadership-reverse-titanic-its-0 | Spartz: It will take bold and decisive leadership to reverse this “Titanic” from its catastrophic course. | 2024-12-30 | 2024 | 2024-12 | Republican | House | IN | Victoria Spartz | S000929 | spartz.house.gov | spartz | https://spartz.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Noblesville, IN – Today, Rep. Victoria Spartz released the following statement on her upcoming speaker vote on January 3, 2025: “Congress has abandoned its constitutional duty to the American people to properly oversee the spending of their hard-earned money paid as taxes. Our next speaker must show courageous leadership to get our country back on track before this “Titanic” strikes an iceberg at any moment. Severe fiscal calamities often lead to unrest and more government control. If we are serious about governing, our next SPEAKER must COMMIT PUBLICLY to create at least temporary structures in the House for: 1) authorizations; 2) reconciliation offset policies, and 3) spending audits. We also need to engage competent, unbiased “non-swamp” professionals to help us to at least start getting us gradually out of this serious fiscal mess. The current STRUCTURES, with their perverse incentives, have not been working for decades and will not suddenly start working. We must have a vision and a concrete PLAN to deliver on President Trump’s agenda for the American people, which I have not seen from our current speaker despite countless discussions and public promises. The fate of our Republic is at stake and Congress, the ARTICLE 1 BRANCH, with its supreme powers of creating laws and managing our nation’s finances, must start fulfilling its CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES – not selling out our Republic at the expense of our children.” | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
