Truth About Math
A House debate titled the ‘Truth About Math’ focused on the national debt and federal spending. Representative David Schweikert, a Republican, argued that the debt is close to $40 trillion and growing by about a trillion dollars roughly every 123 days, that interest costs may soon exceed spending on Social Security or the military, and said Congress should keep a commitment to act on bills that cut waste and reduce borrowing. The summary was later updated to reflect the discussion.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
