On the recordFebruary 26, 2019
Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to lead this Special Order tonight as we consider the national debt as a security threat to the United States of America. I thank Senator David Perdue for his leadership. He introduced a concomitant resolution in the Senate. I also thank the more than 50 Members of this body who are original cosponsors to this resolution. I also thank the more than one dozen conservative groups that endorsed this resolution and have come to understand that a structural deficit that nears a trillion dollars every year, a national debt that exceeds $22 trillion, is indeed a threat to our national security. Madam Speaker, I yield to my friend, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).
