Rep. Victoria Spartz is prepared to resign from Congress unless there's a debt commission. But we've already had plenty of such commissions.
Rep. Victoria Spartz isn’t the most famous member of the House Republican conference, but the Indiana Republican is known for one specific thing: Shea few weeks ago denouncing the GOP leader’s “lack of leadership.” To prove her point, the congresswoman’s statement added, “It is a shame that our weak speaker cannot even commit to having a commission to discuss our looming fiscal catastrophe.”
It’s worth noting for context that the Indiana Republican has already announced her retirement plans, and barring a dramatic reversal, Spartz won’t seek a third term next year. Her latest statement, however, suggests she’s prepared to give up her seat before her current term ends, shrinking the House GOP conference by one.
“Look, I don’t need a commission to tell me where there’s waste, fraud and abuse,” the speaker told reporters in February. “I don’t need a commission to tell us where we’re spending too much. I don’t need a commission to tell us we’re $31 trillion debt.”in the hopes of keeping his members happy — imagine that — though there’s still no firm plan in place for such a commission.
