NEWT: Republican Lawmakers Must Not Waste The August Recess

When Congress recesses for summer, Republican members and senators have an opportunity to really shift the national dialogue about spending, savings, deficits, and taxes.
This is their first post-One Big Beautiful Bill Act opportunity to bring Americans together around the benefits the new law will deliver. Because Republicans passed the bill, and President Donald J. Trump signed it, Americans will benefit from lower taxes, less waste and fraud in our biggest programs, and a more streamlined government.
Importantly, Republicans should point out that passing the budget bill was a critical step toward a much better future for America. It laid the predicate for reaching a balanced budget – with lower inflation, greater affordability, more jobs, and more secure retirements.
The American people will be eager for this dialogue.
As America’s New Majority Project reported:
“A balanced budget amendment requiring Congress to balance the budget every year has majority support among all voting groups. Overall, 70% support a balanced budget amendment, with just 13% opposed. Democrats (67-16), Independents (70-11), and Republicans (74-11), Blacks (66-14), Hispanics (62-18), and Whites (73-12) all support a balanced budget amendment.”
Simply put: This issue has 70 percent positive support. Republicans should talk about the good things they just did (passing the budget bill) and then join with their constituents in setting a goal to balance the budget in five to seven years.
