One Year Ago Today, Don Bacon Voted To Raise Costs, Gut Jobs, and Jeopardize Funding For Law Enforcement

One year ago today, Don Bacon passed the Default on America Act, a partisan wish-list that risked the safety and security of Nebraska families.

Bacon’s extreme vote would have:

• Increased taxes on middle class families and raised energy prices

• Jeopardized over 142,000 manufacturing jobs

• Gutted funding for veterans’ health care by 22 percent – resulting in nearly 81,000 fewer health service jobs and 30 million fewer veteran outpatient visits

• Threatened access to Social Security and Medicare

• Jeopardized law enforcement funding

The 118th Congress has been mired in chaos, crisis, and confusion. Thanks to Bacon, history will remember this Congress being the least productive in modern American history.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Don Bacon will continue to face the consequences for joining extremists like Marjorie Taylor Greene to support a plan that would have raised costs, jeopardized Social Security and Medicare, and threatened the safety of Nebraska families. Time and time again, Bacon has refused to break from his party and put middle class families first.”
