Rep. Sewell Votes to Protect the Full Faith and Credit of the United States, Avert Catastrophic Default
Statement
Issues: Monetary Policy Economy and Fiscal
Today, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) voted to address the nation's debt limit. Doing so protects the full faith and credit of the United States and averts economic catastrophe from the county's first-ever credit default.
"Members of Congress should never play politics with the full faith and credit of the United States," said Rep. Sewell. "We have an obligation to pay our bills that have piled up under previous administrations including President Trump's. Addressing the debt limit is the responsible thing to do, and I was proud to join my Democratic colleagues to protect families from catastrophe and pay our bills."
