Concord Action Applauds Introduction of Bipartisan Fiscal Commission Act in U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON, DC – March 10, 2026: In response to the introduction of the Bipartisan Fiscal Commission Act in the U.S. Senate, Concord Action Executive Director Carolyn Bourdeaux issued the following statement:

“Financing our $38 trillion debt is driving up interest costs, crowding out private investment, and increasing the risk of inflation and long-term economic stagnation. If left unchecked, it threatens our economic stability and national security.

A bipartisan fiscal commission with meaningful authority and expedited consideration of its recommendations can help break through the gridlock that has stalled progress for too long.

We thank lead sponsors Senators John Curtis and Angus King, as well as the eight bipartisan cosponsors, for championing the Bipartisan Fiscal Commission Act. With a companion bill already introduced in the House that has garnered more than 40 bipartisan cosponsors, Congress has a real opportunity to confront our nation’s growing debt.”
