News, commentary, and dispatches on the fight for freedom across America | | Hello John,
Americans for Prosperity advocates for principled policy that protects freedom and opportunity—not government cronyism and Bidenomics.
Ultimately, reducing excessive government spending and cutting government overregulation is the only way to stop inflation.
This is the Torchlight—our news roundup shows all the ways YOU + Americans for Prosperity make a real change in America’s trajectory. | | | | |

| Washington’s Debt Snowball Headed Downhill | | | | |
Under President Biden, Washington’s spending crisis has started to snowball. - This year’s deficit has doubled from last year – the largest non-emergency deficit we’ve ever run.
- Spending in FY 2023 was $966 billion higher than what the Congressional Budget Office projected it would be when Biden took office.
- The U.S. debt has passed $33 trillion.
- Interest rates remain near record highs, the 10-year Treasury yield is soaring, and interest costs themselves are now the biggest drivers of more borrowing.
Inflation is the top concern with nearly every group of voters. Yet fewer than 10% of voters believe Republicans in Congress are focused on fighting inflation.
We can’t let debt destroy our country. Congress needs a plan to address America’s debt and the high cost of living so that all Americans can say they’re better off than they were before.
We have that plan. | | | | | |

REIN it in! | We are in the midst of an economic crisis. Inflation is high, cost-of-living is rising, and the national debt is soaring. It’s time we hold this administration responsible for the overreach, over-spending, and over-regulations that are causing hard-working Americans to suffer. | | | | | |
