# [#]Over the past two decades, the U.S. national debt has increased by over $10 trillion. This problem has been growing for quite some time, and it has reached a boiling point.

Even though our economy is healthy at the moment, the U.S. currently borrows nearly $2 trillion a year just to fund our expenses, which translates to $663 billion spent on interest alone. That's more than many critical programs like Medicaid or those that support our children.

If we continue funding our government with last-minute deals between party leaders, it means that Social Security, Medicare, affordable college, clean energy, and more will be on the chopping block.

It’s clear that we need to get this problem under control, and quickly.

That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to create a fiscal commission with outside experts to hold our government accountable with data.

I want to know where you stand: Do you agree that we need a fiscal commission to protect Social Security and Medicare for future generations? [[link removed]]YES [[link removed]] NO [[link removed]]


The time to act is now. It’s the only way to break this cycle and preserve critical investments in our children’s future.

Thanks for adding your voice to this important conversation.
