On June 1, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) voted to pass H.R. 3746, the Bipartisan Budget Agreement, to avoid a catastrophic default and protect America’s economy.
“A default would have pushed our economy into an unprecedented crisis and harmed communities in our district and across our country,” said Thompson. “I voted for the Bipartisan Budget Agreement to avoid a default and keep our economy strong. There are provisions of the bill I don’t like, but in a divided government, negotiation requires compromise. This bill saves us from an economic disaster that would harm every family in America, and I will continue to work with my colleagues to address the shortcomings of this bill with the potential economic default behind us.”
Rep. Thompson spoke on the House floor during debate of this legislation. The video can be viewed here.
