WASHINGTON—Federal officials are consuming tax dollars so quickly that America’s national debt is $22 trillion, and it’s increasing $100,000 every second of every hour of every day, 365 days a year, with no end in sight.
This government spending tsunami isn’t happening despite Congress but mainly because of it. For leaders like Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), such disturbing numbers mean the congressional budget process, adopted in 1974, is broken in 2019 and must be fixed.
