Budget

If you like what you've been seeing from President Trump and DOGE, get ready, because Russ Vought is going to be a lean, mean, budget-cutting machine leading OMB

Look. I get it, right? They’re spending a lot of time arguing with themselves as part of the ongoing GOP civil war around the budget agreement that we’ve yet to see presented to the American people.

This budget resolution jumpstarts a process that will give President Trump’s team the money they need to secure the border and deport criminals and make America strong and more energy independent.

Nobody's ever seen anything like it. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. The worst overruns that there have ever been in the history of our country.

We only consider it major unless it is $100 million.

$25 billion in Social Security benefits would not be sent out.

Our reauthorization of user fees should not be seen by the majority or anybody as a justification to cut FDA's budget.

The Trump budget continues this march against the kind of science and analysis that we would look to them to provide.

But given at least 150 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse, why can't we at least cut the budget by 150 billion?
