The Senate’s proposed Fiscal Year 2025 budget resolution has drawn sharp conservative criticism for enabling massive deficit spending while failing to address systemic fiscal challenges. Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs slammed the plan as of responsible governance, arguing it prioritizes political expediency over long-term economic stability.
The Senate GOP blueprint allows $5.8 trillion in primary deficits through 2034 – an amount exceeding the combined costs of major legislation like the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, CARES Act, and infrastructure bill. This spending spree would:
– Equal 77% of projected Medicaid costs
– Surpass defense spending on the Army by 3-to-1
– Add debt equivalent to half of Medicare’s budget
Conservatives object to accounting gimmicks like the “current policy baseline” that . This sleight-of-hand masks $4.5 trillion in real expenses while enabling unlimited borrowing.
House Republicans are advancing measures to curb activist judges who routinely block border security measures and energy policies. Proposed legislation would:
– Ban universal injunctions allowing single judges to nullify national policies
– Expedite appeals of controversial rulings
– Reinforce constitutional separation of powers
The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision allowing temporary cuts to “$600 million in woke teacher training programs” demonstrates growing judicial pushback against administrative overreach. However, 150+ ongoing lawsuits against Trump policies highlight the need for structural reforms.
While launching a gubernatorial bid, Biggs positions himself as a fighting both Democratic obstruction and Republican complacency. His campaign emphasizes restoring Arizona’s sovereignty through border security measures and resisting federal overreach – mirroring national conservative priorities.
This budget battle exposes a fundamental rift between establishment Republicans seeking short-term wins and reformers demanding fiscal accountability. As debt service costs surpass defense spending, the stakes for America’s economic future couldn’t be higher.
