Posts - Bill - HR 402 DEBT Act
house 01/14/2025 - 119th Congress
We want to ensure greater transparency and accountability by requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to explain to Congress, well before the debt limit is reached, any extraordinary actions planned to avoid default. This will help lawmakers and the public better understand the government's financial steps and costs involved.

More heads-up, less chaos—sounds like a win for anyone tired of financial surprises.

Fine, but don’t let it slow down the fight to cut spending—talking won’t trim the budget.

Bringing in the Treasury Secretary early feels like common sense, not political theater.

Making the Treasury Secretary explain their moves? About time transparency got a seat at the table.
