National Republicans renew attacks over national debt they helped create
By Josh Israel -February 8, 2022 9:50 AM
Almost $8 trillion of the national debt was added by former President Donald Trump — with the GOP's help.
The Treasury Department announced last week that the national debt exceeded $30 trillion for the first time. In the days that followed, Republicans in Congress who helped rack up a large portion of that debt responded with outrage and were quick to try to pin the blame on President Joe Biden and their Democratic colleagues.
But many of the same Republicans who are currently treating the debt as a calamitous existential threat were largely silent on it during the previous administration. And they helped get it to the current level, through big spending and unfunded tax cuts.
"We have a $30 trillion debt, larger than our economy," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy complained Thursday in a House floor speech, calling the size of our debt one of the "two greatest threats to the future of the United States," along with China.
