McCaul Votes No on Raising the Debt Ceiling

WASHINGTON, DC – Tonight following his vote against raising the debt ceiling, Congressman Michael McCaul, who represents Texas' 10th congressional district and serves as Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement.

Congressman McCaul: "Tonight I voted against giving the Obama Administration another blank check. We are a nation $17 trillion in debt but today we raised our credit limit without any additional measures to substantially limit our spending. Significant spending cuts will only be accomplished through reforms to our unsustainable entitlement programs. Families across my district and America recognize that going deeper into debt is no way to handle their finances. Apparently that lesson is lost on Congress and this administration when it comes to its ongoing spending addiction."
