(The Center Square) – Increased government spending is dangerous, and America’s $36 trillion debt and $1.8 trillion annual deficit are unsustainable for the country, a South Carolina congressman says.

He also pointed to the internet’s reshaping of media consumption and closer social interconnectedness as factors in reexamining federal funding.
“We have an existential threat. We cannot continue down this path financially,” Timmons stated during the hearing.
