Both parties responsible for spending US into bankruptcy: Nikki Haley

Ahead of the annual budgetary proposals by President Joe Biden later this week, Indian-American presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday blamed both the Democrats and Republicans for America's spending crisis and the massive debt that it has now accumulated over its head. Asserting that the US needs to stop America sliding towards bankruptcy, Haley in an op-ed in the USA Today pledged that as president, she would veto spending bills that don't put America on track to reach pre-pandemic spending levels.

Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on much but they do agree on spending America into bankruptcy. #StopTheSpending

"It’s time someone in Washington stood up for taxpayers and stopped America’s slide toward bankruptcy," she wrote as she acknowledged that her move would upset the stakeholders in both the Republican and Democratic party. Worse is the fact that this same fiasco will keep happening. Washington simply isn’t serious about getting spending under control, she said.
