Know Debt Resolution

The Know Debt Resolution (H.Res. 195) would require the Clerk of the House of Representatives to install real-time displays of the United States' gross national debt in the primary hearing rooms of the House Budget and Appropriations Committees. The goal of this measure is to ensure that the current total of federal debt is visible to lawmakers while they are debating and voting on government spending and budget legislation. For citizens, this bill aims to increase transparency regarding the national fiscal situation during the specific legislative processes that directly impact federal taxes and spending.
