<br>
<br>
I have received a resolution request from a member in my Region. I will
<br>
paste the text here and hope to get timely cosponsorship for a vote. I
<br>
welcomed suggestions if there are any objections.

*A RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE DEBT CEILING EXTENSION AND OUT OF CONTROL
<br>
SPENDING*
<br>
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 extends the debt ceiling for
<br>
two-years, allowing nearly limitless borrowing from the Federal Reserve.
<br>
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the act does not include any caps on spending or spending cuts,
<br>
continuing record-breaking deficits totaling $1 Trillion Dollars a year.
<br>
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the U.S. Government is already $22 Trillion Dollars in debt, which
<br>
burdens future generations without their consent.
<br>
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the Republicans and Democrats routinely work together to continue
<br>
the deficit and grow the debt.
<br>
<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the Libertarian Party calls for passage of a “Balanced Budget
<br>
Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, providing the budget is balanced
<br>
exclusively by cutting expenditures and not by raising taxes.
<br>
<br>
<br>
BE IT RESOLVED the Libertarian National Committee condemns the Bipartisan
<br>
Budget Act of 2019 and any increase to the debt ceiling not tied to
<br>
spending cuts.
<br>
<br>
<br>
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that while both Republicans and Democrats work
<br>
together to grow the debt, only the Libertarian Party is committed to
<br>
cutting wasteful spending and balancing the budget.
<br>
