Excerpts:

“Representative Josh Brecheen, a first-term Republican, begins each town hall meeting in his sprawling district here in eastern Oklahoma the same way: with a blistering, roughly half-hour broadside about the crisis posed by the nation’s debt and the lengths to which he is prepared to go to force deep spending cuts.

‘For the last 40 years, we inherited prosperity from our parents and our grandparents, and we are borrowing — and I would say stealing — prosperity from our kids and our grandkids,’ Mr. Brecheen told Oklahomans crowded into a local college’s student center on a recent Monday morning.

But, he argued, the coming debt-limit negotiations with the Biden administration would be a chance to right those decades of wrongs.”
