The Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 today passed the U.S. House of Representatives on a vote of 217 to 215. The bill holds America’s financial future hostage to roll back key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act that will create millions of jobs across the country.

Following the vote, the BlueGreen Alliance released a statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh:

“The GOP debt default bill should be called the Ship U.S. Jobs Overseas Act. It is a shameless attempt to destroy investments in the Inflation Reduction Act that are already spurring job growth around our country to make our clean energy future here at home. Many of the investments are in the very districts these Republicans are supposed to represent. They’re playing politics at the expense of all of us.

“The BlueGreen Alliance will stand with President Biden and Democrats and fight tooth and nail to protect the investments in the Inflation Reduction Act that create jobs, lift up hard-hit communities, strengthen our national security, tackle climate change and reduce pollution, and revitalize U.S. manufacturing.”
