Arrington Leads Spending & Budget Reform

Dear Friend,

The perfect storm has been gathering for some time now. The record-high financial imbalances year after year have amassed a mountain of debt reaching $23 trillion in 2019. In 2020, estimates project an additional $3.3 trillion on that figure. Unfortunately, the debt will continue to mount at an accelerating rate if Congress fails to address this reckless spending.

To demonstrate the bipartisan support behind budget reform, Rep. Scott Peters, a California Democrat, and I led a bipartisan letter signed by 30 Democrats and 30 Republicans imploring leadership of both parties to adopt budget reforms now so we can get our fiscal house in order. Specifically, we asked Congress to fix the broken budget process to address growing deficits and debt as part of any additional COVID relief legislation. The longer Congress waits, the more difficult the decisions will be, and the closer to a sovereign debt crisis we get.
