ICYMI: JEC Chairman @RepDavid joined @cherylcasone on @MorningsMaria to discuss the national debt as it tops $40 trillion, rising costs to federal commitments, and how demographics impact spending and debt.foxbusiness.com/video/640395…

“Our nation faces a dangerous fiscal trajectory that threatens the promise of a better tomorrow for future generations, as well as current retirees. We are rapidly approaching the point where interest payments on the national debt will consume most of the federal spending. Our debt is quickly switching from sustainable, business as-usual, to an unsustainable, market-unraveling nightmare. At this rate, it won’t be long before we face catastrophic consequences. Congress must take the math seriously and act now by charting a new economically responsible path to secure our nation’s future for generations to come. To do nothing or keep on this path is flat out immoral,” said JEC Chairman @RepDavid tinyurl.com/4s4ah63t

Chairman @RepDavid led a roundtable with @HooverInst to examine how regulatory sandbox pilot programs can reduce barriers to innovation, facilitate responsible experimentation & inform more effective regulatory policy. “We are approaching a fundamental choice: cut or innovate. Too often, cutting or capping what already exists is easier than pursuing disruptive technologies that can lower costs, improve outcomes, and challenge entrenched business models.” Thanks to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University for hosting JEC.

Rep. Schweikert on demographics and the debt: "Next year we'll have fewer under-18s than we had 20 years ago, but double the number of Americans 65 and up. In 28 months, over half of all federal spending will go to those 65 and older."

On Memorial Day, we honor the American heroes who gave their lives in defense of our freedom.
From Gettysburg to the deserts of the Middle East, generations of patriots have answered the call and paid the ultimate price.
We owe them our liberty. We owe them our remembrance.
God bless our fallen and the Gold Star families who carry their memory.
