On the recordFebruary 25, 2025
Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I remind the gentleman that the last 4 years, President Biden and my Democratic colleagues set a record of $8 trillion added to the national debt. If you add the $5 trillion in interest expense, well, I don't know that anybody is going to ever accomplish that feat. That is $6 billion borrowed a day, and during that reign of reckless spending, they added $116,000 to the debt burden that our children will bear into the future. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Obernolte), also a Budget Committee member.
