The full report is available here. “In the wake of the Budget Control Act going into effect and forcing Washington to reduce spending by about 2 percent, Moody’s upgraded the United States’ credit rating, improving our country’s economic standing in the global marketplace. This was a positive step, and proof that spending reforms are needed in this country and, when enacted, strengthen our economy. “Today’s CBO report clearly shows that our nation is still on the road to fiscal and economic ruin and that more must be done to prevent the debt crisis from worsening and to keep vital safety nets from going bankrupt. The report clearly indicates that ever-increasing government spending, not a lack of revenue, is driving our national debt and Obamacare is playing a major role in adding to that debt. Because Obamacare is increasing the national debt, raising health care costs, and restricting access to care, I believe that it needs to be repealed and replaced with a health care plan that provides affordable, quality care for all Americans. “Washington has an unsustainable spending problem and we cannot afford to ignore it by kicking the can down the road to future generations. We should take immediate action to delay Obamacare and reduce the national debt. I’m hopeful that in the coming weeks we are able to work to advance a solution that responsibly addresses the main drivers of our nation’s debt crisis, improves our economy, and provides opportunities for the American people to thrive and prosper.” Highlights from CBO’s Long-Term Budget Outlook compiled courtesy of the House Budget Committee: | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
