The Durham Report

In a troubling report finalized by special counsel John Durham last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation "willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia." You can read the report in its entirety here. Talking about the release of the Durham Report, as well as the ongoing negotiations regarding the debt ceiling, Congressman French Hill (R-AR) sat down with Roby Brock of Talk Business and Politics to give his perspective on the news coming out of Washington.

Biden's Debt Ceiling Failure

Biden and Democrats refused to negotiate with House Republicans on the debt limit until they passed a plan to address it. So Republicans passed one.

What you need to know:

• It took Biden 104 days to meet with Speaker Kevin McCarthy about the debt limit.
• Why did it take Biden that long to simply meet with the Speaker and agree to a negotiations structure? 
• While Biden was playing politics, House Republicans stepped up and passed a bill to responsibly raise the debt limit. 
• It is full of commonsense proposals to save taxpayers’ money that even Democrats, including Biden himself, have  supported and applauded.
• Democrats' failed tax and spend policies caused this debt crisis. 
• Since President Biden took office in January 2021, he and House Democrats have increased the 10-year spending trajectory by $10 trillion.
• This includes ramming through their $2 trillion so-called "American Rescue Plan" that ignited the highest spike in consumer prices in forty years. 
• After passing the "American Rescue Plan," Democrats moved on, passing the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act," which included:
• $80 billion to the IRS in order to target working families with audits.
• $400+ billion for Green New Deal initiatives.
• Biden’s Executive Actions have totaled OVER $1.5 trillion in spending, including Democrats’ student loan giveaway to the wealthy.
• House Republicans committed to a responsible debt ceiling increase. The Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023: 
• Limits federal spending by: 
• Ending the era of reckless Washington spending. 
• Saves taxpayer dollars by: 
• Reclaiming unspent COVID funds; 
• Defunding Biden's IRS army; 
• Repealing "Green New Deal" tax credits; 
• Prohibiting Biden's student loan giveaway to the wealthy. 
• Grows the economy by: 
• Strengthening the workforce and reducing childhood poverty; 
• Preventing Executive overreach and restoring Article I; 
• Lowers energy costs and utilities.
