WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra has expressed concern over the national debt reaching $36 trillion. In a statement released today, Rep. Feenstra highlighted the implications of this financial milestone.
“Roughly 4 months after our national debt topped $35 trillion, we just surpassed another record — $36 trillion in debt. Our rapid accumulation of debt threatens our economic security, emboldens our adversaries like China, and jeopardizes our status as the world’s reserve currency,” stated Rep. Feenstra.
The congressman emphasized the need for fiscal responsibility and urged action to address government spending.
“We need to end reckless government spending and balance our federal budget to reduce our debt and get our fiscal house in order. Our children and grandchildren are counting on us to deliver solutions to our dire financial position,” he added.
