HCR 6006 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

urging this state's congressional delegation to end foreign aid programs pending control of the United States debt situation.

This non-binding South Dakota House Concurrent Resolution (HCR 6006) urges the state's congressional delegation (Senators Thune and Rounds, Rep. Johnson) to end U.S. foreign aid programs and halt overseas nation-building efforts until federal debt is controlled. It cites the national debt exceeding $38 trillion, projected $1 trillion in 2026 interest payments, and a 124% debt-to-GDP ratio as justification. The resolution specifically asks the delegation to "rein in the federal debt" by halting foreign aid and advocating for congressional declarations of war before military engagements. As a concurrent resolution, it has no legal effect and cannot alter U.S. foreign policy or budget decisions.
