Rep. Barry Moore Votes Against Partisan Debt Ceiling Legislation

Washington, D.C. — Last night, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) voted against H.R. 5304, a bill that would raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion to an unprecedented $31.5 trillion. This legislation provides no offset, spending reform, or long-term plan to address the many escalating crises facing our nation, including the border, crime, supply chain, and inflation.

“Speaker Pelosi and her Big Government Democrats have made clear that there is no limit to how much of your money they are willing to spend to grow their own power,” said Moore. “By asking taxpayers to write a blank check to the Biden administration to pay for its wildly expensive socialist spending spree, Democrats are saddling future generations of Americans in deeper debt — mostly to China, our most dangerous geopolitical foe. Congress should be laser focused on protecting the safety and economic security of Americans, not squandering the viability of our nation for short-term political gain.”

Moore voted against a previous bill to raise the debt ceiling in September.
