Chairman Arrington opened the member-day hearing by describing a long-running failure of the federal budget process, citing repeated continuing resolutions, rising national debt (noted as ~$38 trillion), interest costs larger than defense, and urging common-sense reforms (CBO audit, deficit targets near 3% of GDP, and a fiscal commission).
