Dixon: $38 Trillion in Debt and Still No Will to Change
“The American people deserve a government that lives within its means — just like every family and business has to”—Case Dixon
From the Dixon campaign
Hueytown, AL — Republican congressional candidate Case Dixon released the following statement after the U.S. national debt officially surpassed $38 trillion earlier Wednesday, calling it a clear warning sign that Washington has lost all sense of fiscal responsibility:
"When I began my campaign earlier this year, the national debt was about $36.2 trillion," Dixon said. "In just a few months, Washington has added nearly $2 trillion more. That's not sustainable — and it's a sign of how disconnected our leaders have become from the everyday reality families are facing."
"Runaway spending drives inflation, weakens the dollar, and eats away at the value of every paycheck," Dixon continued. "Yet both parties in Washington continue to ignore the problem because cutting spending isn't politically popular."
"My opponent, Representative Palmer, often speaks about fiscal conservatism, but when his own party holds power, that principle gets lost. True conservatism means leading with restraint, even when it's inconvenient."
"The American people deserve a government that lives within its means — just like every family and business has to," Dixon said. "If we want to make life easier for working Americans, we have to start with discipline and honesty about what we can afford."
Dixon will be facing incumbent Gary Palmer in the May 19, 2026 Republican primary for the nomination in AL6.
