Ann Wagner Recklessly Votes To Default on America’s Bills and Tank U.S. Economy

After her party ballooned the national debt and refused to pay the bill, Ann Wagner votes to threaten the full faith and credit of the United States 

Once again, Ann Wagner (MO-02) showed that she prefers to put millions of American workers, seniors, and small business owners in harm’s way by voting “NO” on the historically bipartisan vote that according to Moody’s Analytics and the Bipartisan Policy Center, would:

  • Cost 6 million jobs

  • Surge unemployment to 9 percent

  • Delay earned benefits like Social Security and Medicare

  • Jeopardize our military servicemembers’ paychecks

  • Threaten the economic progress President Biden and House Democrats have made in pandemic recovery

“Ann Wagner is showing Missourians just how fiscally irresponsible she is by playing politics with America’s bills,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “Under the Trump administration, Republicans blew up the national debt by $8 trillion with their tax cuts for the wealthy and corporate giveaways. Now refusing to pay the bill, Ann Wagner is compromising the livelihoods of millions of American workers.”
