Fiscal Responsibility for Federal Government
Since President Biden stepped into office, we have never seen such a large amount of spending through executive orders and congressional spending bills. Congressional spending during Biden's term has totaled rough 3.25 Trillion dollars. If not for resistance from moderate democrats in office who were concerned about the state of the economy and rising inflation, he would have spent more.
The American Rescue Plan passed through the House in March and saw as much as 1.9 trillion dollars in spending on Coronovirus relief in the form of weekly unemployment at $300 per applicant and stimulus checks.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, although deemed much more appropriate by republicans for spending on roads, bridges, broadband, and water pipes, was still a whopping 1.2 trillion dollars. And finally, while it did not make it to the president's desk in time, the proposed Build Back Better spending bill would run the U.S. 1.75 trillion dollars.
On top of this incredible spending, while inflation is at record highs, Biden has sent 8.2 Billion dollars to the war effort in Ukraine.
It's time to hold our government to a level of fiscal responsibility that is budgeted so that we, the people, do not continue to foot the bill for the outrageous amount of spending congress and the presidential office spend.
