A number of lawmakers from both parties participating in the Bipartisan Fiscal Forum, which was formed to begin dealing with the soaring debt legislatively, promised immediate action given the growing debt figures. The government’s FiscalData platform indicates that the debt has grown by a whopping $210 billion in one week and is $2 trillion higher than one year ago.
Representatives Scott Peters (D-CA) and Bill Huizenga (R-MI), along with eight colleagues, say their mission is centered on “sounding the alarm about our nation’s unsustainable debt trajectory and working together to get control of our fiscal future.”
