“Yesterday we were given the President's budget, which outlines the President's so-called priorities. Well, his priorities were pretty clear: Continue to expand government at the expense of the American people. Expand government, a government that is at odds with the freedom, well-being, and prosperity of the American people every single day. The simple truth is, as my friends in the House Freedom Caucus and a large number of my other colleagues in the Republican Conference have been articulating, we need to shrink Washington so that we can grow America. We cannot sustain and grow out of the $32 trillion of debt and the $20 trillion of debt that the Congressional Budget Office just outlined that we are going to add over the next decade. We will not, as a country, survive through that if we do not get economic growth to the 3, 3\1/2\, and 4 percent levels that we saw under President Reagan, President Clinton, and in previous years. You are not going to get economic growth if you don't get the Federal Government off the backs of the American people and stop empowering them to target Americans, to undermine American freedoms. Biden's budget would increase taxes and implement price controls to the tune of $3 trillion. That is the President's plan. What does the media do? They run around and go: Oh, he is reducing the deficit. He is reducing the debt. Yet, by his own measures, he would be increasing the debt another $17 trillion over the next decade.…”
