David Schweikert's Address on Economic Challenges and Policy Solutions

Published | Video Starts at 29:38

Think of the protests, the whining. I won't use the word bedwetting because I think that's just inappropriate for a member of Congress to say. Baseline is we intend. The federal government intends to spend $86 trillion over the next 10 years. $86 trillion is the CBO baseline. All we're talking about in the budget Reconciliation was a $2 trillion savings. 86 spend, 2 trillion. To give you an idea just how absurd this debate is. (29:38–29:45)

CLAIM

Asserts that the U.S. federal government plans to spend $86 trillion in the next decade.
