Feenstra Issues Dire Warning as National Debt Exceeds $33 Trillion

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra issued the following statement after the national debt surpassed $33 trillion for the first time in American history:

“Thanks to President Biden’s wasteful spending policies, our national debt has surpassed $33 trillion, and our country is barreling toward a debt crisis. I’ve repeatedly warned that injecting trillions of dollars into our economy would fuel inflation, supercharge deficits, send interest rates soaring, and make life unaffordable for our families. Regrettably, my calls for fiscal responsibility have fallen on deaf ears.

If we want to protect our children and grandchildren from economic catastrophe, we must end reckless spending, enact a balanced budget amendment to our Constitution, and eliminate government waste. Failure to act will indebt our nation to China, embolden our enemies, and destroy the American economy beyond comprehension. As a strong, fiscal conservative, I will continue my work to restore fiscal sanity and defend hardworking taxpayers.”
