David Schweikert's Address on Economic Challenges and Policy Solutions

Published | Video Starts at 35:07

You realize if it goes to five and a half in nine years, 45% of all of our tax collections just interest. Let's not let that happen. Let's get our act together. Let's communicate to those people we borrow money from that we're serious on some fiscal sanity. Because that's how you maximize the efficiency. That's how you lower the interest rates for every American, and that's how you give our kids and your retirement a future. (35:07–35:16)
