Rep. Don Bacon, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska's 2nd district, shared his views on national security and fiscal policy in a series of tweets dated December 13, 2024. Bacon has been serving in Congress since 2017, after succeeding Brad Ashford.
In a tweet posted at 14:19 UTC, Rep. Bacon expressed gratitude to No Labels Organization for their invitation. He highlighted the significant threats posed by China, Russia, and Iran but emphasized that "the larger threat is our growing debt that makes it hard to pay for the national defense we need." He urged both the President and Congress to address this debt issue promptly to avoid potential disaster.
