Jason Smith said Sunday that President Joe Biden\u2019s $6 trillion budget offers a \u201czero percent increase\u201d in funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) despite a growing border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis budget that President Biden released a week ago Friday \u2026 provides $69 trillion of spending over 10 years, $6 trillion of spending just this year, but they couldn\u2019t find one additional dollar for the border wall, let alone a zero percent increase for [DHS] when we\u2019re facing the border crisis?\u201d Smith asked during an interview on Fox News\u2019 \u201cSunday Morning Futures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s crazy,\u201d he said. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/07\/senator-kirsten-gillibrand-child-care-paid-leave-infrastructure-democrats-spending-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Sen.

Nancy Pelosi became House speaker. \u201cAnd as Nancy Pelosi said a budget is a statement of their values and clearly by this budget it shows that they have very little concern for our men and women in uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith said Biden plans \u201cto spend more money in 10 years on interest on our debt, which is $914 billion, than they want to spend on our military.\u201d The 1.6% increase in defense spending is lower than the rate of inflation. The congressman said that number pales beside the funding available for the Environmental Protection Agency, which will see a 22% increase in spending. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/28\/lindsey-graham-joe-biden-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Dead On Arrival\u2019: Lindsey Graham Says Biden Budget Is \u2018Insanely Expensive\u2019 And \u2018Isn\u2019t Serious\u2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7206565\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"35\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7206565\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7206565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6.4-biden-featured-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. President Joe Biden speaks at a rally during commemorations of the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre on June 01, 2021 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
