As of publication time of this report, the national debt clock shows just over 36.5 trillion dollars of national debt, which is increasing by one million dollars every 19 seconds. Congressman Tim Burchett (R-Knoxville, Tennessee) constantly thinks outside the box to solve problems, including the looming national debt.
Burchett is proposing the Legislative Line Item Veto Act of 2025, an attempt to give the president the authority to propose cancellations of specific discretionary budget amounts.
“We’re just in too deep right now…President Trump needs every tool at his disposal so that we can begin to slowly dig ourselves out of this financial mess that we are in.” – said Tim Burchett
