Washington, D.C. - Recently, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation released a report showing that swing state voters overwhelmingly believe that the rising national debt is a critical campaign issue.
According to the report, more than 90 percent of voters across seven key states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin - say that it's important for presidential candidates to have a plan to rein-in the national debt.
"The numbers don't lie - the American people are concerned about our country's unsustainable fiscal path, and rightfully so," said House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19). "Record deficit spending is devaluing the dollar, weakening our economy, and pushing us closer to a debt crisis. We must rein-in Washington's out-of-control spending and restore fiscal sanity before it's too late. Instead of reducing the size of government and living within our means, we borrow from the future - placing a deferred tax on our children. We must reverse the Biden-Harris spending spree, fix the broken health care and welfare system, and reignite economic growth by lowering taxes, cutting regulations, and incentivizing work."
