Congressman Yoder Votes Against $2.4 Trillion Increase to Our National Debt

"Today I voted against a $2.4 Trillion increase in our national debt. I believe we missed an opportunity for historic spending reform in Washington and that we have once again passed our problems on to another day. Although I commend our leaders for working out a temporary solution against choppy political waters, I could not join in an effort that did not solve the problems that got us in to this spot in the first place. To borrow a phrase, I was not persuaded by the logic that Congress would gladly pay Tuesday for a hamburger today. I look forward to many future efforts to join my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we continue to work towards growing the economy, spurring job creation and fiscal reform that that will combat the national debt."
