That's more than we fund our military...The average family [pays]...a little over $500 [more] a month...in interest on a house payment because of [the national debt and inflation].” During the hearing, "America's Fiscal Future: Examining the Need for a Fiscal Commission," the committee heard from several witnesses including former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, and former Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio. | 1 | 2026-09-24T09:44:48Z | 2026-09-24T09:45:52Z |
