Feenstra Calls for Fiscal Responsibility and A Balanced Federal Budget as National Debt Surpasses $35 Trillion

HULL, IOWA — Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement after the national debt officially surpassed $35 trillion:

“Just over seven months since our national debt hit $34 trillion, our nation is officially $35 trillion in debt. This rapidly accelerating trend is unsustainable and dangerous. Like I’ve repeatedly said before, we must end reckless government spending, balance our federal budget, and restore fiscal responsibility to the core function of government. As a strong, fiscal conservative, I will continue to oppose wasteful spending and unchecked expansions of bureaucracy that will only accelerate our arrival to $36 trillion in debt.”
