Today, our national debt stands at over $33 trillion, which is an increase of nearly $5 trillion since President Joe Biden took office. By borrowing money from China to subsidize Green New Deal initiatives like windmills, solar panels, and electric vehicles, President Biden has failed to rein in spending and sent our national debt soaring to unprecedented levels. As Congress looks to address next year's funding, it is clear that a change needs to be made and that cuts to government waste are needed in order to right the ship and restore sanity to our budget. Right now, we are on an unsustainable trajectory that will put making interest payments on our debt the largest single line item in the Federal budget, surpassing Social Security, Medicare, and all other spending programs. It is time to chart a new course and help return to fiscal solvency while supporting the priorities that matter the most, priorities like protecting seniors, funding our military, and securing our border. Pennsylvania families and, in fact, all American families cannot afford President Biden's reckless spending, and I call on my colleagues to join me in working to pass a budget that is responsible and shows that Congress is working to be solid stewards of American taxpayer dollars.
