Sean Patrick Maloney: “this Republican Congress may go down in history as the most fiscally irresponsible Congress in the history of this…”

“this Republican Congress may go down in history as the most fiscally irresponsible Congress in the history of this country. Our record budget deficit, our record debt, we have over $7.8 trillion in debt, and each citizen's share is over $26,000. Last week we learned that our trade deficit set a new record, over $195 billion in the first 3 months of this year. That is 6.4 percent of GDP on an annual basis, the largest trade deficit in the history of our country. This Congress is not just raising the debt ceiling, and we have raised this debt ceiling three times recently, this Congress is shooting the Moon. It is totally out of control. And these irresponsible, wanton budget policies will be borne by our children and our grandchildren. Is that the legacy we want to leave? ____________________”
