In about six and a half years, Social Security faces a 24% cut under current law. That would double senior poverty in America and double the number of baby boomers living on the street. What we are allowing to happen is absolutely immoral.

Congress keeps piling on debt. Treasury still has to find someone willing to buy it. If buyers stop trusting Washington, the math gets ugly fast.

To stay economically competitive, we must address our aging demographics with the realities of stagnant population growth. This is in line with what was highlighted in our March 18 hearing, “Keeping Our Promises:  Labor Inflows, Maintaining Competitiveness, and Supporting an Aging Population” on using a points based system to attract and retain the best talent and high skilled labor. jec.senate.gov/public/index.…

On Memorial Day, we honor the American heroes who gave their lives in defense of our freedom. From Gettysburg to the deserts of the Middle East, generations of patriots have answered the call and paid the ultimate price. We owe them our liberty. We owe them our remembrance. God bless our fallen and the Gold Star families who carry their memory.

Medicare Advantage should reward keeping seniors healthier. Instead, Washington wrote rules that reward scoring seniors sicker. I have a bill scored to save $1.84 trillion and improve care. I can’t get a single member of Congress to touch it because it says “Medicare.”

Increasing at a rate of $7.5 billion per day, $313 million per hour, $5.2 million per minute, or $86,955 per second. Fiscal responsibility can't wait. jec.senate.gov/public/index.…
The national debt has officially surpassed 100% of our nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), meaning the federal government now owes more than our economy produces in an entire year. At more than $39 trillion and growing, our debt is an issue we can’t afford to ignore. Congress must take action to change our fiscal trajectory and protect prosperity for generations to come.

When your doctor’s office or your child’s school calls, you ought to be able to trust it. Scammers are making that harder. We’re asking the major wireless carriers to explain what they are doing to stop scam calls, spoofed numbers, and AI-driven fraud before families get ripped off. 12news.com/article/syndicati…

ICYMI, @AmericanThinker and @JosephFordCotto OpEd on our Joint Economic Report "This remarkably comprehensive, well-researched, even-handed assessment is a haunting warning that the window for responsible action is closing. Ignore its analyses and America risks a future of diminished living standards, crushing debt service, insolvent entitlements, and broken promises to both seniors and the young."
