Republican House District 39B

Resolution

July 7, 2011

WHEREAS we have all suffered from ever-increasing federal government expenditures, and

WHEREAS the national debt now exceeds $14 trillion, and

WHEREAS the profligate Democrat Party has tried to panic the American people into spending even more by threatening that without such increases the government will have to ”shut down,” and

WHEREAS the federal budget has almost quadrupled over the last twenty years, and

WHEREAS continued borrowing by the federal government places unacceptable burdens on America’s future, and

WHEREAS unrestrained borrowing is approaching the breaking point in lender confidence, and

WHEREAS raising the debt ceiling now would signal the government’s inability to address the financial crisis upon the nation, and

WHEREAS, with a view to future elections, the Republican Party needs to demonstrate the fortitude for responsible leadership, and

WHEREAS the surest way to put a firm cap on spending is to hold the spending ceiling in place, therefore be it

RESOLVED, That Republican House District 39bB calls upon all Republican Congressional Representatives in Minnesota to vote “no” on any proposal to raise the federal debt ceiling.
