In\u200b a statement,\u200c Pence expressed his admiration\u200b for the hard-working men and women\u200c of the nation, describing them as faith-filled, freedom-loving, and idealistic individuals.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, \u200cJoe Biden continues to weaken this country at \u200chome and abroad with runaway spending,&#8221; Pence\u2063 stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Concerning Rise of the Federal Deficit<\/h3>\n<p>Pence&#8217;s statement referred to a\u200c recent Washington Post article that discussed the\u200d alarming increase \u200din the U.S. deficit, despite the ongoing growth of the economy. The deficit \u200brepresents the amount by which federal spending exceeds\u2063 revenues.<\/p>\n<p>After significant federal spending in response to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021,\u200b the deficit decreased\u200b to $1 trillion \u2064in 2022. However, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, it is projected to skyrocket back\u200c up to approximately $2 trillion by the end of the fiscal\u200c year on \u200dSeptember 30. As Congress reconvenes this month, the deficit will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion as leaders \u200bwork to secure \u200bgovernment funding beyond the September 30 deadline. Pence, drawing on his experience as a former member of Congress, strongly criticized the news of the deficit\u2064 nearly doubling in 2023.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Our economy\u200d remains on\u2064 a downward spiral with an exploding federal deficit driving inflation and erasing\u200b wage gains. Americans deserve better than what Washington,\u2062 D.C., is offering, and Americans deserve a government as\u2062 good as \u200dits\u2063 people,&#8221; Pence emphasized. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m pledging to you that \u2062when I\u2064 am elected President, we will unleash the ingenuity \u2064of \u200cthe American worker and tackle the unsustainable debt and deficit issues facing our\u2063 Nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last month, Pence unveiled his economic policy to combat inflation, which includes measures such as \u200dreducing \u2062the Environmental Protection Agency&#8217;s budget, implementing an immediate freeze on nondefense\u2062 spending, and defunding the IRS. He is scheduled to deliver a speech on the clash between populism and conservatism at the New\u200d Hampshire\u2063 Institute of Politics at Saint \u2064Anselm College, where he will delve into the dangers of unmoored \u2063populism and the choices Republicans and\u2063 the nation \u200cmust make moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Pence&#8217;s visits to New Hampshire, a crucial state in the \u200bGOP primary schedule, come after the Iowa \u2064caucuses on January 15.\u200c Many of the 2024 Republican candidates are relying on victories in either Iowa or New Hampshire to demonstrate the viability of \u2064their campaigns and establish significant momentum in the race for the \u200bpresidential nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his ambitions, Pence faces a challenging task\u200d in unseating his former running mate, President Donald Trump, who currently maintains a 53.6% average in RealClearPolitics polls, \u200bwhile\u200b Pence \u200dgarners only 4.6% support.<\/p>\n<p>However, Pence did gain significant traction during last week&#8217;s Republican presidential primary debate, where \u2063he showcased \u2062a more combative\u200d persona \u2063on stage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> \u2064 to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ever known,&#8221; Pence tweeted. &#8220;But sadly, under Joe Biden&#8217;s failed leadership, our economy is struggling, inflation is skyrocketing, and the federal deficit is spiraling out of control.
