As recorded in each PolicyBomb's "who supports / who opposes" research. Not counted in the tally.
Policy #59: Federal Deficit Spending Harmful
Mixed: Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (H.R. 3746) passed House 314-117 and Senate 63-36; 71 R and 46 D voted no in the House. Congress.gov: H.R. 3746 Fiscal Responsibility Act (congress.gov)
Listed in the research as: Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R) & President Biden (D)
Verdict: Bad. Deficits during emergencies like 2020 can be justified, though the 2021 ARP was oversized for a recovering economy.
