Madam Speaker, that question came up often at the doors: What about the deficit?
I will talk about the deficit and the debt-to-GDP ratio, which is more important than a raw number.
We can talk about the price of gas all we want. We can talk about the price of one thing, which is just one direction. However, what we have to focus on is the relationship between the debt and the amount of money the country makes. The truth is that the debt to GDP ratio is more sound than it has ever been. It is the strongest in the G7, and it will continue to be. The debt of this nation is under control. We are gold star rated, and we will continue to be under this government.
