“Interest on the national debt is growing faster than our spending on health care. I want to ask my colleague how the government could cut spending and balance the budget.”
“Madam Speaker, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the interest on the national debt is the fastest-growing category of government expenditures, outpacing health care transfers. How does my colleague think the government could reduce spending and put the budget back on a more responsible path?”
