$15 billion spending reduction won¹t solve our debt problems, but it's an important step in the right direction by eliminating unnecessary and excessive spending throughout the federal government. Senate needs to pass the Spending Cuts to Expired & Unnecessary Programs Act.

“A great advantage of this package is that Democrats are unable to filibuster it, and if Republicans stand together, we can start cutting back on unnecessary spending & provide much needed fiscal sanity to our country.”

A big priority of WH - a rescissions package to cut $15 billion - fails to advance in the Senate on a 48-50 vote. GOPers who defected: Collins and Burr, who I’m told had concerns about cuts to the Land and Water Conservation Fund

I am disappointed the Senate failed today to pass the President’s $15 billion spending cut package. This is a small, but critical, first step to rein in wasteful government spending and provide relief from our nation's crippling debt.

Our national debt is over $21 trillion. It has to stop now, or government will be too broke to do anyone any good, no matter if you stand on the left, the right, or somewhere in between.

Another chance to seek the return of fiscal sanity to the halls of Congress
President Trump has presented this Republican-led Congress with another opportunity to live up to its rhetoric, and I and other conservatives will force the issue this month.

I thought we all campaigned on cutting wasteful spending. I thought our party was about lowering federal deficits by lowering federal spending. It saddens me to see people who campaigned on lower spending break their promise and vote with Democrats against

We did it! We put kids first and blocked Trump Republicans from cutting billions from the Children’s Health Insurance Program. I know the news & polarized politics can make governing seem hopeless. But if we stand strong – if we don’t give in – we can still make a difference.

Wow. So the U.S. Senate can't even cut $15 billion in mostly unused funds from a $4.1 trillion budget. That's less than 0.4% of the budget, or 0.07% of the $21 trillion national debt. Way to show some backbone and a modicum of fiscal responsibility, guys.

Ask the millions of Americans who are benefiting from more cash in their pocket thanks to tax cuts, a booming economy, great jobs numbers. I’d also recommend talking to people who have lost jobs, safety, and love ones due to an unprotected border.

Still searching for an explanation to how anyone can be proud of a president who’s legacy will be alienating our closest allies, denegrating the office he holds, and tearing children away from their parents. Anyone at care to explain?
