House Passes $1.9 Trillion Dollar Debt Hike, Bringing Limit to $14.3 TRILLION

                                                                                                                                 
Auburn, Maine – 2nd District Congressional candidate Jason Levesque released the following statement on Mike Michaud’s vote in increase the debt limit to 14.3 trillion dollars:

“Today, Mike Michaud and his cronies voted to allow the government to spend an additional $2 Trillion dollars it doesn’t have. By increasing the debt limit to $14.3 Trillion, Congressman Michaud and his colleagues have signed off on the right to borrow more money from China, so Congress can continue its massive spending spree. The people of Maine are struggling and we have crippling unemployment and we can’t spend our way out of this.


“Michaud has touted the need for spending responsibility.  However, just like President Obama in his State of the Union; say one thing, and then propose and vote for another. Mainers are tired of Michaud telling them one thing in Maine and voting the other way in Washington. This means every Maine family has a debt of greater than $100,000.  This must stop.  Our economy is being crushed by this debt and we cannot create jobs under its weight. We must reduce the burden of over-regulation on Maine companies to allow them to grow, hire and put more money back in the economy through more success.

“This Congress has failed us. If they do not have accountability for their actions now, they will have accountability in November.”

-- Jason Levesque, Candidate, 2nd Congressional District, Maine.
