GOP Congresswoman Threatens To Resign If Key Debt Reduction Demand Isn't Met

Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana said in a statement Monday she could resign from Congress if lawmakers fail to establish a commission to study ways to reduce the U.S. national debt.

Spartz is one of several lawmakers who has demanded that the House of Representatives pass a bill establishing a fiscal commission that would study how to reduce the U.S. national debt and make recommendations to Congress, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CFRB). On Monday, Spartz issued a press release threatening to resign from Congress if such a commission is not delivered

Quit emptying the Treasury into the overstuffed pockets of the wealthy, and get them to pay their share of the cost of running the country. Repeal the 2017 tax cuts and you'll have oodles of money to pay down the debt. As if you care about the bill that added $8 trillion to the debt that you're now so concerned about.

Jack up taxes on the rich and fossil fuels so the government operates at a profit, and pay off the debt.

Study concluded.

It's more a promise to be fulfilled & gladly received.
Until now, nobody outside of her district ever heard of her.
She's a backbencher & won't be missed if she resigns.
Not sure why she thinks this threat carries any weight.

Pruneface Reagan. Poppy Bush. Smirko McCokespoon Bush. Donald the Orange Dipshit. They all cut taxes on the rich, their holding companies, and the corporations they establish to dodge responsibility and liability.

Tax the rich at what they deserve -- say 50-percent of what they make and what they have -- and pretty damn soon the debt will be gone.
