Budd plans to touch on the economy in his speech.<\/p>\n<h3>Social Security Update: How Debt Ceiling Could Affect Monthly Benefit Payments<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOne of the big lessons I learned is this: For as much importance as we place on our international standing, as we should, what\u2019s most important is that we do not lose our way at home,\u201d Budd will say in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/budd-urges-country-to-stay-on-track-in-first-senate-speech\/\" title=\"Budd urges country to stay on track in first Senate speech.\">preview excerpts provided<\/a> to the Washington Examiner. \u201cWe need to be an America that\u2019s worth defending. Everything we do should be about creating a strong nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Budd\u2019s speech highlights his North Carolina roots and upbringing in a small town in Davie County. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/co-dems-move-to-censure-hickenlooper-for-voting-to-block-stimulus-checks-to-illegal-immigrants\/\" title=\"CO Dems Move to Censure Hickenlooper for Voting to Block Stimulus Checks to Illegal Immigrants\">freshman senator<\/a>, who previously served in the United States House and was a member of the ultraconservative Freedom Caucus, replaced former Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC). He goes on to say that citizens should not look to the government as an economic savior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we give our government too much power, the less freedom each individual has over their own life. Less freedom means you have less money and less opportunity to achieve your God-given destiny,\u201d Budd plans to say on the Senate floor Wednesday. \u201cLooking to government as our economic savior is simply not the solution. Capitalism, open markets, a free and moral people \u2014 that is the formula for success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the Republican senator makes a number of veiled criticisms of the current state of the country but does not level any specific criticisms of the Biden administration. Budd\u2019s speech describes the current generation as one that embraces \u201cvictimhood\u201d instead of being encouraged with vision and hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of teaching the next generation of Americans to wallow in all the things that their country has done wrong, we need to be celebrating, learning, and building on all the things we\u2019ve done right,\u201d he plans to say.<\/p>\n<p>His speech also highlights the 11 international trips he\u2019s taken so far during his time in the Senate. He plans to touch on his experiences with ambassadors, U.S. troops overseas, and foreign leaders in an effort to emphasize the importance of creating a strong nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat nations succeed when their citizens not only have a focus on what makes them great, but also when we collectively keep our eyes on what creates prosperity and human flourishing,\u201d Budd will say.<\/p>\n<p>The maiden speech is a Senate tradition in which new senators set the tone for their term by giving their first major address on the floor. Typically, Senate leaders, along with the senator\u2019s senior colleague from his or her home state, will be on hand to witness the speech while the new senator\u2019s family watches from the gallery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freshman Sen.
