Did you know that Congress hasn’t just broken the sound barrier, but even the speed of light with its reckless spending?

That’s the conclusion of our friend Jim Carter of the America First Principles Institute:

Following Congress’s latest spending frenzy, the Congressional Budget Office raised its spending estimate for fiscal year 2023 to $6.221 trillion, or more than $197,000 per second. Ironically, that’s a bit higher than the speed of light (186,282 miles per second).
