FreedomWorks Applauds White House Chief of Staff’s Comments in Support of Fiscal Sanity

02/20/2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney’s remarks regarding Republicans’ failure to address out-of-control federal spending, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks’ President, commented:

“Mr. Mulvaney is right to point fingers at Republicans for changing their tune on deficits post-Obama. There is no excuse for congressional Republicans agreeing to ever-higher spending levels, passing grossly bloated omnibus bills, and ignoring the entitlement crisis when they have a president in the White House willing to cut spending.

“Republicans cannot continue to claim their opposition to socialism while agreeing to bigger spending and thus bigger government. Instead of being complicit in Speaker Pelosi’s radical agenda, Republicans should be taking advice from principled conservatives like many in the House Freedom Caucus and Sens. Lee and Paul who have remained steadfast in their principles.”

The Nation’s Fiscal Health Once Again Lost in the Noise

BY Luke Hogg

Amidst the pressing need for congressional action on Coronavirus and the expiring provisions of the USA FREEDOM Act, an important report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) seems to have been lost in the noise. The statements of Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro before the Senate Budget Committee presented a damning view of the nation’s fiscal health. Over the course of the hour-long hearing, Dodaro painted a bleak picture of our “unsustainable long-term fiscal path.”

Key Vote YES on the Paul Amendment to H.R. 6074 to Pay for Coronavirus Emergency Spending

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote YES on Senator Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) amendment to the Coronavirus emergency spending package, H.R. 6074. The amendment would simply rescind unobligated funds for several international outreach and foreign aid programs that have been flagged in the past for being unnecessary and wasting taxpayer dollars, and apply those funds to offset the cost of emergency spending to combat the coronavirus domestically.
