America has reached a critical turning point in the way our government does business. On May 16, the U.S. hit the $14,300,000,000,000 debt ceiling, meaning the country can no longer borrow money without Congressional action. Put simply, the spending spree is over. My Democratic colleagues refuse to face reality and join with the majority of Americans that want real spending reforms. The Treasury Department has even begun borrowing money from federal retirement pension funds just to continue the Democrats spending binge. The government is already expected to run a $1.5 trillion deficit this year, and if things continue down this path, we’ll end up piling more debt on top of that just to sustain the status quo.
