[Lnc-business] Resolution condemning the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019

[Tim Hagan]

You are correct, John. Second Whereas is cumbersome. 
Other notes: 
First paragraph, delete the hyphen in "two-years". 
Second and third paragraphs redundantly use both the sign "$" and word
"Dollars". 
The first Resolved reads that the LNC is okay with an increase to the
debt ceiling as long as it's tied to spending cuts. I'd prefer to delete
"not tied to spending cuts". 

I believe this can be more quickly and efficiently handled with a press
release.
