Economy and Budget
The United States is over $34 trillion in debt and counting. Few in Washinton, D.C. know what it means to adhere to, or even make, a budget. The Congressional budgeting and spending process is broken, hijacked by reckless spending and borrowing. We are not taxed too little; we spend too much.
As your representative, I have rejected budget and spending bills which provide unchecked growth in deficit spending and am pushing for institutional reforms in the House which reaffirms our power of the purse in a manner which allows the American people and their representatives to regain control over our fiscal health.

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted against H.R. 3746, a bill that would raise the debt ceiling by an unspecified amount and establish the FY 2023 appropriations, so called “Inflation Reduction Act”, and COVID era emergency bills passed by Biden/Pelosi/Schumer as the baseline for future government spending.
A bill that raises the debt ceiling limit passed in the House by a wide margin late Wednesday. Now the bill is being sent to the Senate for a vote, just days before Monday’s U.S. default deadline.
The Fiscal Responsibility Act passed 314-117, with support from both Democrats and Republicans.

JACKSON, Wyo. — Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman joined 215 other Republicans and two Democrats in the House to shut down President Joe Biden’s Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Plan.
The final vote split was 218-203.
The Biden Administration Plan aims to help working and middle-class federal student loan borrowers transition back to regular payment as pandemic-related support expires by extending loan forgiveness of up to $20,000.
Wyoming’s lone delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives and 215 of her Republican peers voted Wednesday to shut down President Joe Biden’s student loan debt forgiveness plan.
The Joint Resolution now faces the U.S. Senate, which contains 48 Democrats, 49 Republicans and three Independents. Because the three Independent delegates caucus with the Democratic party, Republicans are the minority in the Senate.
All 216 Republicans voting on the measure voted in favor of it including Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman, a frequent Biden critic.
Wyoming’s congressional delegation isn’t budging on budget cuts, as President Joe Biden and U.S. House GOP leadership remain stuck in a standoff over the federal government’s debt limit.
