Tito Muñoz: “Severely Disappointed” in McConnell on Debt Limit

- Calls on VA Delegation, Puller to Work to Avert Massively Mounting Debt -

WOODBRIDGE – Tito Muñoz, candidate for the Republican nomination for the Virginia Senate in the 36th District, today decried Sen. Mitch McConnell’s proposal on the federal debt limit. Muñoz issued the following statement.

“The McConnell ‘plan,’ if you can call it that, simply makes it easier for the federal government to borrow more and spend more. It puts the ball in Barack Obama’s court and relies on him to make spending cuts that we know will never happen. Senator McConnell’s idea is neither a plan, nor is it anything but a recipe for more of the same we have seen from Washington, DC. I am severely disappointed in Sen. McConnell.

“It is my hope that our Virginia Congressional delegation will stand firm against raising the debt ceiling at a time when our nation faces a financial situation as dire as this.

“I call on my own Congressman, Gerry Connolly, to refuse to plunge this country further into debt than it already is. I further call on state Sen. Toddy Puller to do her duty to her constituents and work with her friends in the Democratic Party and elsewhere to help us in this fight against debt saddled on future generations.

“This is a time to put aside party. This is a time to decide what is right for America.”
