House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) is warning that the U.S. is heading toward a serious financial crisis—and he says Congress needs to act fast.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Arrington said the federal government is too big and spending too much. He pointed out that the government’s interest payments on the national debt are now higher than what it spends on the military or Medicare. “We are operating at a wartime level of debt,” he said, noting that the annual budget deficit is nearly $2 trillion—and could double in the years ahead.
“The wheels are coming off the wagon. We can’t get to the president’s rocket ship economy, we cannot usher in the golden age. In fact, we risk a sovereign debt crisis if we don’t deal with the unsustainable deficits and national debt,” Arrington said.
He called on lawmakers to show “political courage” by cutting the size of the federal workforce and reining in government programs that are adding to the debt, noted The Daily Caller News Foundation. Without changes, he warned, the country won’t be able to grow the economy in a meaningful way. “We can’t get to the president’s rocket ship economy if we’re stuck in this fiscal mess,” he said.
Arrington is pushing a mix of proposals—including a Republican budget plan, changes to Social Security and Medicare, and other long-term reforms. While he admitted these steps won’t fix the debt overnight, he said they are critical to getting the country back on track.
As of Monday, the national debt stood at $36.2 trillion. The federal deficit for 2025 is already $1.31 trillion. Arrington said failing to act would put America’s financial future—and its independence—at risk.
“We owe it to our children to put this country on a sustainable path,” he said.
Interest payments alone on the national debt recently topped a trillion dollars.
