Murphy Called The National Debt “Our Nation’s Greatest Existential Threat”

2025: Murphy: “Our Nation’s Greatest Existential Threat Is Our National Debt.” “Our nation’s greatest existential threat is our national debt. President Trump and Congress are taking a hard look at our country’s spending for good reason. We must slow the growth of our deficit, or we will suffer immensely down the line.” [Greg Murphy, Facebook, 3/1/25]

Murphy’s Campaign Website Said He “Pledged To Cut The Amount Of Money The Government Spends Annually.” “Thanks to President Trump and House Republicans passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax rates for hard working families are at historic lows. Yet thanks to out of control government spending, the fight for lower taxes for the American people must continue. Dr. Murphy has spent his time in Congress fighting to simplify the tax code for working families and to lower the rates they have to pay, regardless of income. As our debt continues to rise irresponsibly under democratic rule, he has pledged to cut the amount of money the government spends annually.” [Greg Murphy for Congress, Tax/Economy, accessed 5/27/26]
