Arizona Republic: Just how high will Arizona Republicans jump to hike our big, beautiful debt? | Opinion
- As the U.S. House prepares to vote on adding a jaw dropping $3.3 trillion — that’s with a T — to the national debt, it seems a good time to take a big, beautiful stroll down memory lane.
- For years, [David Schweikert] has been sounding the alarm about our soaring debt, delivering weekly floor speeches full of numbers-dense predictions that should shock you out of your socks.
- “Government overspending is creating a huge burden of debt that threatens the economic well-being of our children,” [Schweikert] said in 2016, when the national debt was $19.57 trillion.
- Nine years later, the debt has jumped to $36.21 trillion, and Schweikert is still producing charts and graphs depicting our dire financial future.
- “The potential of debt exceeding 155 percent of GDP by 2035, with annual interest payments alone surpassing $2 trillion, should petrify every American,” [Schweikert] warned in February.
- In January, [Juan Ciscomani] called the scale of the debt crisis “unprecedented in American history.”
- “The United States’ national debt recently surpassed $36 trillion and is becoming increasingly unsustainable, putting our nation’s fiscal stability at risk,” [Ciscomani] warned.
- “This staggering figure is not an abstract statistic; it’s the result of decades of overspending and mismanagement that demands immediate and resolute action from both chambers of Congress and the incoming administration.”
- “Our national debt is over $34 trillion, and eventually this house of cards will collapse,” [Eli Crane] said in 2024.
