On Wednesday, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) introduced a resolution that formally recognizes America’s national debt as a threat to its national security. Reckless spending, unbalanced budgets, and waste have soared the national debt to more than $31 trillion.

“Our government’s spending spree is unsustainable and inches us closer to defaulting. America produces significant revenue and yet we continue to find ourselves in a position where we are unable to pay our bills. This means future generations will bear these costs and that’s unacceptable. If our government does not become more fiscally responsible, we will no longer be able to adequately fund our military apparatus as well as basic societal services. That is a recipe for a disaster and enables our adversaries to surpass us on the global stage. Raising the debt ceiling every year is a cop-out. This resolution will restore regular order to the appropriations process and acknowledge that Washington has a spending problem. I am grateful for Senator Braun’s dedication to this critical issue,”  said Congressman Biggs.

“Our staggering national debt is the greatest national security threat to the United States, but no one wants to talk about it. Washington needs political will and a backbone to stop reckless spending and restore regular order to address our fiscal crisis,”  said Senator Braun.

The resolution may be read here.

  1. They claim they are for reducing spending but then send billions of our dollars to the crooks and Nazis in Ukraine and to support bases in about 400 places around the world. Insane. This is all for the benefit of defense contractors and politicians and endangers our troops.
