John Katko and Claudia Tenney Recklessly Vote To Default on America’s Bills and Tank U.S. Economy

After their party ballooned the national debt and refused to pay the bill, John Katko and Claudia Tenney vote with the rest of the GOP to threaten the full faith and credit of the United States 

Once again, John Katko and Claudia Tenney showed that they prefer 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

DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola:

“John Katko and Claudia Tenney are showing Central New Yorkers just how fiscally irresponsible they are by playing politics with America’s bills. 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, Katko and Tenney are compromising the livelihoods of millions of American workers.”
