Congressman Don Davis’ Statement on the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Don Davis issued the following statement regarding his vote on the bipartisan budget agreement:
“It would be an utter disaster to so many families across the East to allow America to default. We have never defaulted in our nation’s history, and I do not plan to start on my watch. Therefore, I plan to vote in support of the bipartisan budget agreement reached between the President and the Speaker to cap spending. It may not be the resolution everyone wanted, but failing to act responsibly would devastate our economy, trigger massive job loss, a deep recession, and stop essential benefits from going out the door.”
“As a native of eastern North Carolina, I have devoted my life to serving our community. I have seen the impact of failed D.C. policy and its harm on our families. Too often, the East has gotten the short end of the stick, but not now. I look forward to supporting this deal and continuing the much-needed conversation about tackling our $31 trillion-plus national debt for the sake of future generations.”
