Half a dozen Republican representatives held a press conference on March 28 about the issue of raising the debt ceiling and announced 507 bills to cut more than $1 trillion in government spending.

Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.), Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), Bob Good (R-Va.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), and Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) expressed their concerns about the nation’s increasing debt and weakened fiscal situation, as well as the inflation and worsening economic conditions caused by the $31.4 trillion national debt that is growing at a rate of $100 billion each month.
