Dem Rep. Ro Khanna: DOGE Will Likely ‘Find Awful Examples of Wasteful Spending. I Don’t Contest That’

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: “Their view is, 'Oh, we can only set what the maximum is.' They don't -- if we mandate some spending, they don't have to follow the maximum. Joe, imagine that someone from the left becomes president. Congress says we need $800 billion mandated for the defense budget. And you have someone from the left as president saying, 'No, we only are going to spend $300 billion.' I mean, that that's ridiculous. Of course, you have to spend what Congress appropriates. And that's the argument. I think they are likely to find awful examples of wasteful spending. I don't contest that. I'm sure they can legitimately offer transparency and sunlight to the American people. Just come to Congress, show us what you're finding, and then force up or down votes. And if Ro Khanna still votes for those wasteful spending, I'll have to answer back home.”
