Second District Congressman Rudy Yakym issued the following statement after voting for the Fiscal Responsibility Act:
“Today’s vote is an important first step towards stopping out-of-control, inflation-inducing spending and restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington.
“For months and months President Biden and congressional Democrats insisted they wouldn’t negotiate and would only agree to a clean debt-limit increase. This legislation proves them wrong.
“The Fiscal Responsibility Act puts a halt to President Biden’s reckless spending sprees and represents the largest spending cut in history. It also strengthens work requirements, cuts government red tape, and prevents the Biden Administration from hiring any new IRS enforcement agents this year.
“Washington did not amass nearly $32 trillion in debt overnight, and no single piece of legislation alone will solve our debt crisis, which is the greatest threat to our nation’s future. But this is a good start to changing our fiscal trajectory and the unsustainable spending culture in Washington.
“On the House Budget Committee I will continue fighting for solutions that get our fiscal house in order so our children and grandchildren can enjoy the same opportunities and grow up in an America as free and prosperous as the one that we did.”

Well, now we know who Rudy represents. HINT: It ain’t us!
Too bad Mr. Yakima didn’t vote for the people’s best interest, guess a new congressman is needed in the next election.
Yakym was Walorski’s protege, and she never met a spending bill she didn’t like. She was fine with big government, as long as it was HER big government. (This doesn’t detract from her being a decent human being, but it’s an honest assessment of her voting pattern.)
Rudy is simply living up to the standards of his mentor. I’m not sure why anyone expected anything different from him.
Rep. Walberg??
$4TRILLION more debts in 20 months.
Ain’t fake money grand!!
Hallelujah, we’re going to have fun spending money on crazy stuff we don’t want or need, but pile it up on our future generations to suffer from.
Article V convention for a Balanced budget Amendment, and maybe Term Limits on Congress.
The DC Cesspool must be stopped.
