WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 26, Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) voted against the Default On America Act. This extreme MAGA Republican legislation presents Americans with a terrible choice: either House Republicans will wreck our economy or inflict cruel cuts that hurt everyday people.

“Congress must pay our bills and prevent a devastating default on our debt. But House Republicans are threatening to wreck our economy unless they can force cruel cuts that hurt families, which is exactly why I voted against the Default On America Act,” said Congressman Sherman. “My fellow House Democrats and I are ready to act now to prevent a default on our debt, continue our historic deficit reduction, and responsibly invest in America to lower costs and create better paying jobs. It is time for extreme MAGA Republicans to stop the political games and save our economy.”

By refusing to act now to prevent a default, House Republicans are threatening an economic disaster that will devastate everyday Americans.

House Democrats have already cut the deficit by historic levels and President Biden’s budget reduces deficits by $3 trillion more over the next 10 years while investing in America – lowering costs by making child care, health care, and housing more affordable, supporting better schools, and strengthening our infrastructure.
