Ted Cruz on the national debt 2014/2017
We need to pass a strong balanced budget amendment. We need to stop bankrupting our country. Right now our kids and grandkids are inheriting a country where our national debt is larger than the size of our entire economy. Let me speak right now to everyone in the room who didn't applaud when I said, 'are there any young people here,' what we're doing to our kids and grandkids is morally wrong. It is an outrage. If we keep on this road, they will spend their entire lives, not to meet the needs of the future, not to meet the needs of their priorities, but instead, just working to pay off the debts that their deadbeat parents and grandparents stuck them with. Our parents didn't do that to us. Their parents didn't do that to them, and the reasons we're here today is, we're not going to do it to the next generation. We are going to turn this around.

Ted Cruz October 2017
Cruz said "nobody" cares more about the deficit than he does. But he argued that Republicans should push for even deeper tax cuts to create more growth that will make up for lost revenue.
"I think this should be an unapologetic tax cut," Cruz said. "Not just tax reform, but a real tax cut to generate economic growth."
