Sen. Rand Paul: ‘Congress Has to Act to Make the Cuts Identified by the Administration a Reality’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “President Trump and his team identified the cuts that need to be made, but it is ultimately Congress, not the executive, that has the power of the purse. Congress has to act to make the cuts identified by the administration a reality. And on that score, the bill under consideration today is a disappointment. The bill is a disappointment to those who believe that congressional leadership should have used the three months since they came into office, since DOGE and Elon Musk have identified this waste, they should have used that waste and incorporated it into the spending bill. None of the DOGE cuts, None of Elon Musk’s suggestions have been incorporated into the spending bill. The spending bill continues spending at the Biden levels.”
