However, this bill increases government spending by $64 billion over the next two years while exchanging certain budget cuts now for uncertain budget cuts over a decade, hence my opposition. If we are to leave the possibility of the American Dream for future generations, we need serious efforts to address the growing debtnow. I came to Washington to cut spending. Unfortunately, this budget deal contains no structural changes to the true drivers of our debt and deficit. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
