Indiana Republican Calls Excessive Spending a National Threat
WASHINGTON–Excessive spending over the past several decades has put the U.S. in a bind. But, Rep. Marlin Stutzman, a Republican representing Indiana in Washington, says he believes Republicans will do what it takes to get it under some level of control.
Stutzman also called the spending a national threat.
“We all realize that the $36 trillion of debt is the greatest threat to the United States right now because Washington, and Congress, hasn’t been responsible with taxpayer dollars over the past several decades,” said Stutzman on WISH TV’s All INdiana Politics.
He praised a group of senators that are holding out on a deal between the House and Senate on a budget bill, because they don’t believe the “recessions” bill does enough to curb spending.
“I believe that Republicans, including Pres. Trump, know that we have got to grow this economy. We have got to get the foot of the federal government off the back of the American people and the American economy so it can grow,” he said.
When asked if he believes a bill will get passed by both bodies, Stutzman said he believes Republicans ultimately will unite in the cause of getting spending under control.
