The resolution highlights the alarming state of the United States' national debt, which exceeded $38.5 trillion in October 2025, representing 122.5% of the country's gross domestic product. It emphasizes the significant portion of this debt—over $9.3 trillion—owned by foreign individuals, including a substantial amount held by Chinese investors. The resolution also points out the fiscal challenges faced in 2025, where a deficit of $1.78 trillion was recorded due to the failure to pass a balanced budget, alongside projections that critical funds for Social Security and Medicare will be depleted in the coming years.
In light of these concerns, the resolution asserts that the rising national debt poses a serious threat to U.S. national security, as echoed by past military and intelligence leaders. It calls on the U.S. Congress to prioritize the establishment of a more effective budgeting process to address these issues. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to share this message with Alabama's Congressional delegation, urging them to take action on this pressing matter.
