These 43 Republicans blew up the deficit with tax cuts. Now they say debt is a security threat.

Every one of them previously voted to add an estimated $1 trillion to the deficit to cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations.

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced resolutions in Congress on Tuesday that would label the more than $22 trillion in public debt a “threat to national security.”
Both Perdue and Biggs, as well as the majority of their co-sponsors, previously voted for a massive expansion of that threat through the GOP tax bill just 14 months ago.
As of Wednesday morning, five Senate Republicans and 50 House Republicans have signed on as “original co-sponsors” of the legislation.
The list includes Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA), James Lankford (R-OK), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Mike Rounds (R-SD), and Ben Sasse (R-NE), along with Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Freedom Caucus Chair Mark Meadows (R-NC), and Republican Study Committee Chair Mike Johnson (R-LA)
