Representative Schweikert has routinely graced us with videos of his presentations to Congress demonstrating with charts the fiscal irresponsibility of his colleagues.

On March 24 he delivered a speech on the House floor in which he warned his Democratic colleagues about the consequences of a debt ceiling increase without any serious attempts to reduce the deficit. He paints himself as a fiscal hawk during his campaigns. But this week he joined the Democratic majority in voting for the watered-down version of The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The bill which passed places no limits on the debt ceiling until 2025.

Schweikert is now firmly in the RINO swamp, kicking the debt limit can down the road for another two years. He should have joined the true Arizona Conservative representatives and voted no. I have lost respect for him and he has lost my vote if he runs again.
