ADVERTISEMENT The Area's Top Political Talk Show for the 10th Year Volpe Report SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM FOX 56 TIME TO PAY THE PIPER Because the U.S. has run budget deficits for more than two decades, the debt ceiling -- the amount the nation is legally allowed to borrow from the treasury to pay its bills -- has mushroomed to $31.4 Trillion. Failure to raise the ceiling would have a catastrophic reverberation around the globe. In the second of a two part Show on Sunday on the Volpe Report at 10:30 a.m. on FOX56 U.S. Congressman Dan Meuser (R-9th) blamed Democrats' spending for the country's financial woes. "We have to pay our obligations, whether or not they were created by the last Congress, which were created by Democrats, almost exclusively, and by the Biden administration", says Meuser. Republicans are willing to raise the debt ceiling, but Meuser said his majority wants spending cuts in return for supporting the debt ceiling increase. He also said the trillions put into the economy by the Democrats during COVID - 19, against the advice of the top Democratic financial analysts was, along with the assault on fossil fuel energy production, the drivers behind the record inflation we are experiencing at present. On Tuesday, between 10 and 10:30 p.m., tune in for Volpe's Views as Chuck comments on how wokeness has become pervasive on college campuses, citing Princeton as a recent example.
