Gosar: “Default Is Not An Option”

Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ-01) voted tonight to support the Boehner plan, the Budget Control Act.  The Congressman had the following statement regarding his vote:

“I’ve said all along, default is not an option for our country.  The plan that offered the best solution was Cut, Cap and Balance, however, the Senate refused to even vote on that.   We are forced to provide a compromise, which Speaker Boehner has forged that overall cuts more in spending than gives in debt ceiling increases.  This conservative plan still moves the nation on a path to fiscal responsibility.” 

“A year ago Congress only talked about tax increases and more failed stimulus plans.   Now we are talking about, and voting on, measures that restore fiscal sanity.   We are moving our country forward.”
