That is why I conditioned my vote to raise the debt ceiling on the inclusion of reforms to address our spending, specifically our ballooning entitlement spending, including the latest entitlement - Obamacare. That's the responsible, common sense thing to do. Since the bill being voted on tonight does none of these things, I cannot support it." Rep. Duffy continued, "I came to Washington to change the way things are done in this town. I still believe it is immoral for our government to continue living for today while saddling our children with the debt and inevitable tax increases to pay for it." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
