text: More debt w/ zero spending reforms? Unacceptable.  I strongly believe we must act to avoid defaulting on our debt payments and reopen the government. But I cannot support a plan that increases our nationÛªs debt by half a TRILLION dollars while offering no spending reforms. WashingtonÛªs addiction to spending is what led to this mess, and piling on more debt while ignoring the spending problem is exactly the wrong approach.  A better way forward would be honest, simple legislation that (1) takes care of our debt needs with corresponding spending reforms, (2) provides temporary government funding, and (3) allows us time to work toward a real budget. I know a majority of Republicans and Democrats would ultimately support such a plan. The problem is the Û÷shutdown strategyÛª damaged the HouseÛªs bargaining power in these negotiations.  I hope conservatives can now regroup and begin work on achievable priorities that are important to regular Americans: striving to protect Americans from ObamaCareÛªs harmful mandates and taxes, setting sustainable spending levels that continue to drive down the deficit, and pushing a pro-growth agenda that will help create jobs for people in Alabama and throughout the country. http://www.wsfa.com/story/23711725/rep-roby-to-vote-no-on
