Recognizing the national debt as a threat to national security.

Sponsored By: Representative Biggs, Andy [R-AZ-5]

Introduced

Summary

This resolution centers on the view that the national debt is a direct threat to U.S. national security. It would assert that deficits are unsustainable, urge restoring regular order in the appropriations process, and commit to addressing the fiscal crisis, citing public debt above $36.2 trillion, FY2024 interest costs near $1.1 trillion, a FY2024 deficit of $1.9 trillion, and trustee projections that Medicare's Hospital Insurance trust fund will be depleted in 2033 and Social Security trust funds in 2034.
