As the national debt hits $22 trillion, these are the only people trying to cut spending

The national debt hit $22 trillion this week. You won’t find many in either major party who think this is a healthy development.
But isn’t part of the reason people vote Republican because that party presents itself as fiscally responsible compared to Democrats?
For as long as the debt has grown, Republicans have been promising to stop it. Yet, in 1981 the national debt topped $1 trillion after former President Ronald Reagan’s first year. When former President George H.W. Bush left office in 1993, it was more than $4 trillion. His son, former President George W. Bush, would push it past $10 trillion.

Of course, Democrats were just as responsible for exploding the debt. President Barack Obama became the biggest government spender in world history, leaving office with an almost $20 trillion national debt.
That is, until our current Republican president outdid Obama in spending. When asked about a looming debt crisis in December, President Trump replied, “I won’t be here.” To his credit, Trump has shown some spending concerns, like his call for every agency to reduce operations by 5 percent in October.
But has anyone in Washington actually cut spending?
Yes, and not surprisingly they are all Republicans. Sadly, there’s only seven of them: Sens. Rand Paul R-Ky. and Mike Lee R-Utah, and Reps. Justin Amash R-Mich., Thomas Massie, R-Ky., John Duncan Jr. R-Tenn., Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, and Morgan Griffith, R-Va.
