A few points to remember about the budget resolution: The budget resolution is not law. The Senate amendment makes no changes to our reconciliation instructions. Any final reconciliation bill must include historic spending reductions, while also safeguarding essential programs. This is a collaborative process. Congressional Republicans are working together... to get this done.show more

We need to cut $2 Trillion from this budget to reduce inflation and not default on debt.

Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

The budget process must prioritize slashing bloated programs while protecting national security and essential services. Recent audits reveal staggering waste: California’s high-speed rail project ballooned from $33B to $15B for just a partial phase, with completion delayed to 2029. The Pentagon wasted $10B maintaining near-empty offices, while agencies like USAID funneled millions into DEI musicals in Ireland and transgender operas in Colombia. Senator Rand Paul’s 2024 Festivus Report exposed $1T in absurdities, including $12M for a Las Vegas pickleball complex and $4.8M for Ukrainian influencers. Congressional collaboration should focus on terminating such excess, not preserving bureaucratic fiefdoms. The Department of Government Efficiency has already identified $687B in unobligated funds, proving real cuts are possible without touching defense or critical infrastructure. Reining in agencies that spent $108K on a nonfunctional hotel or $2M studying Facebook ads’ impact on kids would be a start. The solution isn’t incrementalism—it’s systemic overhaul to redirect every dollar toward border security, energy dominance, and taxpayer relief.

We the People want a budget that includes the @DOGE reductions returned

All evidence to the contrary.

When are you voting on that Save act?

I find it interesting the level of distrust the GOP members have for one another. Almost as if you’ve routinely betrayed each other in past negotiations. Why should we trust you if the members don’t trust you, @LeaderJohnThune, or even each other?

He says this budget is all about “historic spending reductions” while “safeguarding essential programs.” Translation? Cut the lifelines and hand more tax breaks to the rich, then hope nobody notices. Let’s call it what it is: a reverse Robin Hood. They’re not protecting essential programs, they’re gutting them. Medicaid, food assistance, housing support, all on the chopping block to cover the $4.5 trillion in Trump-era tax cuts that mostly go to people who already own a second home and a yacht. Johnson claims they’re not cutting benefits. But the math doesn’t lie. You can’t slash $2 trillion in spending without hitting the programs that keep millions of working-class families afloat. Meanwhile, the top 1% walks away with an extra $43,000 a year, and families making under $14,000 lose over a grand in support. This budget doesn’t balance anything. It just shifts the burden down the ladder, off the backs of billionaires and onto folks who already live paycheck to paycheck. And the worst part? They’re selling it as “fiscal responsibility.” No, Mike. This isn’t responsibility. It’s cruelty.

You need to retire, what a mess.
