The Peter G. Peterson Foundation has released a report indicating that voters in key swing states view the rising national debt as a significant issue in the upcoming presidential campaign. The survey highlights that over 90 percent of voters from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin believe it is crucial for presidential candidates to present a plan addressing the national debt.

House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington commented on the findings: "The numbers don’t lie - the American people are concerned about our country’s unsustainable fiscal path, and rightfully so." He emphasized the impact of record deficit spending on the economy and called for measures to control government spending.

Arrington stated: "We must rein-in Washington’s out-of-control spending and restore fiscal sanity before it’s too late." He criticized current fiscal policies, urging for reduced government size and economic reforms such as lowering taxes and cutting regulations.

The poll was conducted by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, which aims to raise awareness about fiscal challenges facing America. The foundation is known for its nonpartisan approach to these issues.
