“Who’s to blame for our crushing national debt? Everybody. This year, members of both political parties in Congress voted for massive spending bills, filled with subsidies for underperforming industries, continued military aid to Ukraine, and controversial climate initiatives,” Paul wrote in the report.

This is why I have almost zero hope that anything of substance will be accomplished regarding debt relief, even with the DOGE committee, which is an advisory body with no real power to effect change.
The Dem. politicians must feed the alternative energy hogs, the illegal alien lobby, and free money to all countries that hate us. The GOP politicians are beholding to the farmers, the oil and gas and the national defense industry. They all must grease the palms of anyone in their district with an open hand, all done with money not their own.
Rand Paul is one of a select few who understand our dilemma and the impending cliff we are approaching. When the currency devalues and everyone’s 401K is reduced by 90%, and people wonder what happened, it will go on… until it can’t.
Well, if the one-man show can identify 1 Trillion, then the two-mam DOGE should be twice as good, right?
Bless the efforts but aome saw about “Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made,” comes to mind.
I’m not sure how you’d get the two houses to change their own rules to eliminate this “bundling” which is expedient horse trading of votes, but then it might be better for the rest of us if nearly nothing was done each legislative session. It used to be a part-time job with a horse or carriage ride of several days on each end…maybe airplanes should be prohibited to politicians.
Only way the CR’s and Omnibus Bills stop is if the state legislatures go article 5 on the senate, Repeal the 17th and fire every sitting senator. Government at all levels is about power and the exercise thereof. Spending the country into default and debasing the currency is a fireable offence. And at the state house level it is getting closer every day to a bipartisan issue. As Crazy as California is I don’t think the local reps would send pencil neck to Washington to represent the state. The 17th amendment broke the constitution and the country. The founders had it right the first go around and we should not have monkeyed with it. If i had a magic wand i would send Vance on a 50 state tour right now, hat in hand, asking for an article 5. It might not work but it sure would make every senator nervous (well maybe except for Rand Paul and Friends)
