Fox News host Laura Ingraham scrutinized Congress's spending habits in the context of a looming national debt crisis during a segment on "The Ingraham Angle." With the national debt hovering around $36 trillion and a projected $2 trillion deficit for 2025, Ingraham questioned the timing of the continuing resolution discussions shortly before Christmas.
Referencing former President Trump's comments on Truth Social criticizing Republicans who might support the resolution, Ingraham highlighted the irony of Congress considering a pay raise for themselves while simultaneously grappling with the substantial national debt. She questioned whether they deserved a raise given the financial burden faced by the country and alluded to potential insider trading practices by some members.
Ingraham then offered a glimmer of hope, reporting that the continuing resolution appeared to be stalled, potentially due to mounting pressure. She framed this as a positive development and an opportunity to strategically plan for 2025, echoing the sentiments expressed by Trump and Vance.
