WASHINGTON, D.C.— On May 31, 2023, U.S. Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick issued the following statement on the Bipartisan Budget Agreement:
“A default on our debt would cause irrevocable damage to the economy, triggering a job-killing recession and raising costs across the board for American families. Our nation finds itself in a crisis because of extreme MAGA Republicans, who have used the livelihoods of working families as a bargaining chip in an abhorrent hostage-taking exercise.”
“While I have concerns about the Bipartisan Budget Agreement, it ultimately prevents economic catastrophe and protects critical services like education, health care, veterans’ benefits, and housing. I voted in support of this agreement because the consequences of a default are far too severe.”
