- Americans need to understand that the national debt isn't some abstract number, it's the reason why the cost of everything is going up.
00:00I explain why in my weekly column, go read it below. - Former Congressman Ken Buck reposted
Can't afford a house? Blame the national debt. Washington's spending has added $76,000 to the average mortgage and will cost new homeowners $650,000 in interest over the life of the loan.
- Former Congressman Ken Buck repostedWhy should private universities with billions in tax-advantaged endowments continue to receive federal funding? @AbernathyGary and @FmrRepKenBuck discuss this issue on the latest episode of Balls & Strikes 🎧

In the Nation’s Service: It’s Time to Stop Shielding College Endowments "If academia chooses to use patriotic slogans in its marketing materials, then it should help get our national debt onto a sustainable trajectory and pay its share of taxes. Why should liberal schools be - Former Congressman Ken Buck repostedFraud like the infamous "Learing Center" isn't just happening in Minnesota, it's happening across the country. In Arizona, @andybiggs4az has a plan to put an end to it.
00:00 - Former Congressman Ken Buck reposted🚨 HUGE WIN 🚨 HR 8312 has officially passed the House, with all Republicans voting in favor and 28 Democrats crossing the aisle to support it in bipartisan fashion! We now will take the fight to stop fraud to the Senate!
H.R. 8312 — the Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act — is headed to the House floor. The Rules Committee cleared it for a vote this week. Now's the time: contact your Rep and tell them to vote YES. - Former Congressman Ken Buck repostedThe top 20 richest colleges are sitting on more than $500 billion in endowments. Harvard and Yale hold nearly $100 billion combined. So why are the Ivy League schools still pulling in over $6 billion a year in federal grants while the national debt closes in on $40 trillion?
- It was great to be joined by my good friend @andybiggs4az on the latest Balls & Strikes podcast. We talked national debt, wasteful federal programs, and how he would tackle fraud in Arizona as governor. Go give it a watch and subscribe to our channel!
- Former Congressman Ken Buck repostedWasteful spending drives inflation and increases the cost of living for average Americans. Example A: Working class families in CA can barely afford to pay the rent, but the state is using taxpayer dollars to give every prisoner an iPad.
00:00 - Quick update on @PeteSessions' HR 8312. It's critical to pass this bill so we can stop fraud before it happens!

Washington loses up to $521 billion a year to fraud and a bill to stop it is sitting on a shelf. H.R. 8312 cleared committee 23–17, leadership just has to call the vote. We sent this letter to @SteveScaliseGOP urging him to schedule it. - Former Congressman Ken Buck repostedWhy should a taxpayer in Mississippi subsidize an iPad for a prisoner in California?
00:00 - Exxon shareholders scored a win against the woke agenda in corporate America, but there's more that needs to be done. I wrote about it in my weekly column, go read it on the @ForGoodGov website.
