Conservatives should take this small but radical step to cut wasteful Washington spending
WASHINGTON, DC – Advancing American Freedom urges lawmakers to pass the $9.4 billion rescissions package coming to the House floor this week. AAF President Tim Chapman said:
“AAF urges the House GOP to pass President Trump’s rescissions package today. This package gives many Members the first chance of their tenure to cut a dollar of wasteful Washington spending. We hope Members will try to exercise this new muscle and take the lead from here on rebuilding the fiscal discipline of a functioning legislature.
“Conservatives in Congress should see today’s vote for what it is – a small but radical step toward reining in our bloated federal bureaucracy. It’s time to stay laser focused on what Republicans promised to deliver to American families, make this the first in a series of spending cuts going forward, and start tackling our $37 trillion national debt crisis.”

The sooner Congress can advance tax reforms, the sooner Americans can recover from four years of President Biden
WASHINGTON – Advancing American Freedom President Tim Chapman and Chairman Marc Short today sent a letter to Republican Senators urging them to swiftly refine and pass the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. They write:
“One, Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB) is all that stands between the American people and a $4.6 trillion tax hike in 2026. If Congress gets cold feet—or fails to send the package to the president’s desk—American households will suffer a $2,100 tax increase on average.
“OBBB not only defuses the looming tax bomb, it takes a first step toward entitlement reform, rebuilds the military, and ensures that our Border Patrol agents and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have the tools they need to secure the border and deport illegal aliens.
Chapman and Short cite AAF’s analysis on why flawed CBO analysis should not set terms for renewing the tax cuts, saying:
“Some would hold American families hostage over Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) and Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates. But, as our analysis has demonstrated, their scoring of 2017’s landmark tax package has undercounted revenue by $1.5 trillion thus far, and could ultimately prove wrong by more than $3.2 trillion over the ten-year window.
They also outline how the Senate can refine the bill further:
“We recommend lowering the corporate tax rate; eliminating the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction entirely; instituting full, immediate, and permanent expensing; ending all Green New Deal subsidies; and stripping the debt limit language out of the bill. These changes would promote growth, cut waste, and put America on better footing for tackling our long-term debt crisis.
“The sooner that Congress can advance these reforms and send a package to the president’s desk for a signature, the sooner our economy can recover from four years of President Biden.”
Advancing American Freedom has been the leading conservative voice calling for Congress to swiftly renew the historic Trump tax cuts and deliver on the promise of pro-growth tax reform that lowers taxes for everyone. AAF will be crisscrossing the country throughout its $10 million campaign to highlight why Congress should act now to prevent unwanted tax hikes on millions of Americans.
