What was said
"So, Chairman Arrington, can you affirm the basic fact that since January 20th, 2025, Since President Trump and the Republicans assumed full control of government, the national debt has increased by $3.3 trillion from $36.2 trillion to $39.5 trillion. It's a misleading stat because the economy has grown with the cuts that we made on waste, fraud, and abuse."
Jim McGovern cited Congressional Budget Office figures saying national debt rose $3.3 trillion, from $36.2 trillion to $39.5 trillion, since 20 January 2025. Jodey Arrington called the statistic misleading because the economy has grown, then said the numbers were accurate when asked directly.
