Budget and Deficit

In FY2020, federal revenues were $3.42 trillion, but federal spending was $6.5 trillion. In other words, the federal government spent almost TWICE what it took in. That’s not sustainable.

Blowout Democratic spending is the prerequisite for claiming the country MUST raise taxes on the rich.

Elected officials used to care about "fraud, waste and abuse." But Democrats increasingly think handing out taxpayer dollars is more important than who gets them.

President Biden wasted no time releasing a flurry of executive orders and legislative proposals. Some of them may be helpful in addressing the economic challenges imposed by the coronavirus pandemic. But others would almost certainly “cancel” his effort to create jobs, grow the economy and promote equity.

PAYGO is supposed to impose some fiscal discipline on Congress. Instead, it is a minor speedbump as Democrats seek to ramp up federal spending—and federal debt.

Many state and local governments are seeking lots of Covid-19 money from the federal government, even though their tax receipts weren't hit nearly as hard as many feared.

The looting occurring in many major cities pales in comparison to the looting Democrats will inflict on taxpayers.
