Republicans have promised to cut spending and cut taxes. It’s time to get it done.
WASHINGTON – Advancing American Freedom has urged lawmakers to pass the $9.4 billion rescissions package the White House will send to Congress this week as an important step towards cutting wasteful government spending.
AAF President Tim Chapman said:
“I thank my friend OMB Director Russ Vought for his tireless work to deliver the inaugural rescissions package to Congress.
“Most Members of Congress have never cut federal spending since coming to Washington. This package, although small, gives them that opportunity and is a first step in the long journey towards restoring fiscal sanity.
“With the national debt surging toward $37 trillion, there is no excuse to delay. OMB has done the work. Now Congressional Republicans, who promised the American people that they would cut spending, must deliver. It’s time to get it done. Passing this small package of cuts is critical to beginning the process to fix our national deficit. After Congress passes this bill, it should take the lead on implementing cuts instead of relying on the White House for momentum.
“Congress must tackle our national debt crisis and deliver real federal spending cuts to hardworking American families, beginning with this rescissions package.”
