Sens. Scott, Lummis: Our national debt is almost $30 trillion -- let conservative states lead on reducing it

In the just over 100 days that Joe Biden has been president, he’s proposed more than $6 trillion in new spending.

We know that Biden can’t tax his way out of his own massive spending problem – but that won’t stop him from trying. His proposed tax increases would do more to wreck our economy than pay this tab. Clearly, something must change. It’s time for Congress to let conservative states do what politicians in Washington won’t: say no to federal taxpayer dollars and redirect them to pay what we already owe.   It is up to all of us to do our part to reduce the national debt.
