Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) unloaded on the Republican Budget Committee Chairman on Monday over the climbing debt under President Donald Trump's spending policies. "You control the House, you control the Senate, you control the White House, I think you control the Supreme Court, and nothing is your responsibility." In 2024, Arrington had told the same committee that "not paying for our spending is not only irresponsible, it is irrational." McGovern asked Arrington to confirm that the national debt had risen $3.3 trillion since Trump took office — from $36.2 trillion to $39.5 trillion. Morgan McGarvey (D-KY),"The debt of this country from George Washington through Bill Clinton was about $5.7 trillion," McGarvey noted.
