RIVERTON - After the late-night passage of the Senate’s raising America’s debt ceiling (even) higher, Mayor Trent Staggs blasted Sen. Mitt Romney’s support for the deal. As Red State reported, Staggs said:
In no scenario is adding $4 trillion to our debt a “win.” This dumpster fire of a debt deal manages to push us closer to a near inevitable bankruptcy while offering virtually nothing of substance in return. When we in Utah sent Mitt Romney to Washington, we did so on his promise to rein in federal spending, and once again, he has done the opposite.
When Romney ran for Senate in 2018, the debt was about $22 trillion. Although Romney promised to fight for a balanced budget, during his time in the Senate, the debt has increased $10 trillion – and counting.
