U.S. Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas commented on the Senate’s approval of a new rescissions package, which aims to reduce government spending by eliminating $9 billion identified as waste, fraud, and abuse. The move comes amid concerns about the growing national debt, which currently stands at $37 trillion.
Senator Marshall said, “The American people gave us a mandate to eliminate wasteful spending and address our $37 trillion national debt. Early this morning, the Senate voted to pass the first rescissions package, cutting $9 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse,” said Senator Marshall. “Kansans’ taxpayer dollars deserve careful stewardship and efficient use—this is another promise made, promise kept by President Trump. Delivering significant savings that the American people voted for.”
The passage of this package reflects ongoing efforts in Congress to respond to public demand for fiscal responsibility and reduced government expenditures.
