Our national debt currently stands at more than $33 trillion.
That means that as of today, each taxpayer is on the hook for more than $255,000, and each citizen owes more than $98,000 from the moment they are born.
Because of deficit spending (which devalues our currency), inflation now costs the average American family of four roughly $1,200 more per month to buy the exact same goods and services as compared to January 2021 when President Biden assumed office.
Our continual debt loading is pushing our nation towards a fiscal collision that must be averted before it is too late.
That is why Congressman Brecheen is helping lead the charge for spending cuts on Capitol Hill.
Our office has identified areas of woke, wasteful, and weaponized government that can be cut to help get America on a path to fiscal sanity.
Some in DC continue to believe that their role in Congress is “to bring home more bacon” even though our nation creeps ever closer to bankruptcy. Recognizing that economic security is national security, we are focused on getting our fiscal house in order so American families can afford bacon for generations to come.
Congressman Brecheen has requested more than $50.7 billion in cuts, voted for amendments that would cut $35.7 billion, and introduced or cosponsored bills that would cut $310.8 billion.
These cuts include:
