IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Sen. Rick Scott in the Wall Street Journal: Time for Republicans to Say No to More Debt

December 5, 2022

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott wrote a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal in response to a recent editorial on Democrats’ push for a massive spending bill after spending TRILLIONS on liberal priorities over the last two years and adding to America’s unsustainable $31 trillion national debt crisis.

 

In the letter, Senator Rick Scott wrote, “I’ve been in the Senate for almost four years, and one thing I’ve learned is that in Washington compromise means everyone gets everything so that nobody has to make a tough choice. The result is gross fiscal mismanagement and unsustainable debt. 

 

While I’ve fought to rein in insane spending, Congress has been fiscally irresponsible for so long that people think it’s normal. It isn’t. 

 

I ran for Republican Senate leader because if we’re silent and never challenge the status quo, we sentence America to more of the same: More bureaucracy, more reckless spending, more multithousand-page bills ... more debt and more inflation. 

 

I reject that, and so do American families...

 

Caving to more debt isn’t an option. We must fight for our country while we still have something to save.”
