WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) issued the following statement after voting against the debt ceiling increase:
“Idahoans live within their means by making responsible financial decisions for their families—the federal government should do the same,” said Risch. “This debt ceiling increase puts a band-aid on a hemorrhage, and we will be in this same situation again and again until we address the federal government’s underlying spending problem.”
