The Devil's in the Deficit

The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

NOTE

Analysis of Congressional Budget Proposals and Frustration with the Freedom Caucus

The combined national debt from the presidencies of Bush, Obama, and Trump amounts to $20 trillion, and the Freedom Caucus has not presented a comprehensive budget plan, instead focusing on press conferences and social media. They have not proposed a 10-year balanced budget and have only suggested minor discretionary cuts, which is a small fraction of the deficit. Their exclusion of major budget items like Social Security, Medicare, Defense, Veterans, and Interest further limits their impact. The speaker expresses frustration with the Freedom Caucus's lack of constructive proposals and their tendency to resort to name-calling. There is also personal frustration with Congressman Roy, and a doubt about the value of his intelligence compared to other members.
