Rep. David Schweikert gave a speech on the floor in the beginning of february regarding the federal debt. He pointed out that 52 billion in spending cuts only covers about a week of the borrowing we're planning to do for the budget.

All these cuts to critical infrastructure and we're only shaving off the very tip of our federal debt, while adding a mountain more of it.

Fuck Schweikert. He’s almost never voted for more taxes. Just a clown running cover for the destruction of the federal government.

Sure, he's a scumbag. His math makes sense here, though. You can be right sometimes.
