Barry Moore condemns Biden's fiscal policies as national debt hits $35 trillion

On July 29, 2024, the national debt surpassed $35 trillion for the first time in our nation's history. Congressman Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) voiced his disapproval of the U.S. surpassing this unprecedented milestone, just a short few months after the nation's debt crossed over to $34 trillion on January 4th. This number represents $103,827 per citizen and $267,404 for every American taxpayer.

"Our national debt reaching $35 trillion is a direct result of President Biden and the Uniparty's reckless spending that will only punish our children and grandchildren, who will be forced to inherit our nation's financial burden," said Moore "Every time the government prints more money, the money Americans have to live on becomes less valuable. Our national debt is one of the greatest threats to our country's future, and I will continue to fight for fiscal responsibility in Washington."

Whether Vice President Kamala Harris (D) or former President Donald J. Trump (R) are inaugurated in January, they are inheriting a fiscal mess from outgoing President Joseph R. Biden (D). Biden pushed through an economic stimulus bill, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and a trillion dollar infrastructure bill in his first year in office even though the economy was at near full employment and we were not at war. Biden's budgets increased social spending, including unpaid for healthcare subsidies, while at the same time increasing defense spending, subsidizing both Ukraine's war with Russia and a scientifically dubious plan to switch the nation off of fossil fuels. The result has been the highest inflation since 1982 and things like new homes and new cars becoming unaffordable for millions of Americans. The next President will have the unenviable task of reducing the deficit by either cutting the runaway spending or by dramatically increasing taxes or some mixture of both,
