Dan Boren, who fancies himself a fiscally conservative Democrat, just voted with his Democrat colleagues to raise the national debt limit by a record $1.9 trillion. If the raise in the limit passes the Senate, the Democrats will have raised the national debt ceiling to a staggering $14.3 trillion, which is close to 100% of our GDP and $45,000 per every person living in the United States.
37 Democrats voted “No.” All but three Republican members voted “No.” Those three were not present during the vote. The federal government now borrows 40 percent of every dollar it spends.
He may fancy himself as a fiscal conservative but I hope and pray the people of the 2nd District see through his lies and vote him out in November.
Howard Houchen has pointed out the inconsistencies in the Boren rhetoric and the voting record. Maybe he isnt smart enough to make a conservative decision even though he wants the label.
