Conservative Leaders Decry Deficit Spending Under Republican White House and Senate: ‘It’s Deadly’ ‘Stop’ – By John Jakubisin (CNS News) / July 23 2020
(CNS News) – Since Donald Trump took office in 2017, federal spending has soared to record highs, pushing the federal debt up more than $6.5 trillion to a total of more than $26.5 trillion. Some conservative leaders denounced this spending as “deadly” and appalling and stressed that GOP members of Congress are not serious about the debt or reducing the size of the government.
Over the last few days, CNS News sent the following question to numerous conservatives across the country: “Republicans have controlled both the White House and the Senate for the past 42 months, but during that time the federal debt has climbed more than 6 and a half trillion dollars–rising from about 19.9 trillion to $26.5 trillion. Do you believe the Republicans are serious about rolling back the federal debt? What should Congress do to roll it back?”
Adam Brandon, president of Freedom Works, an advocacy group for U.S. taxpayers, said he does not believe the Republicans are serious about rolling back the federal debt.
“No, I don’t. No, I don’t,” Brandon told CNS News. “I came to Washington because of the fiscal issues, the spending issues. That’s the mark I would like to make, is helping to get this fiscal house in order.”
