Exclusive—Sen. Lindsey Graham: Congress Should Pass a ‘Rescission’ Package to Enact DOGE Spending Cuts

As the United States continues to grapple with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial that our government takes swift and decisive action to address our nation’s financial challenges. That is why I am calling on the White House, in collaboration with the House and the Senate, to put together a rescission package using the work product of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as soon as possible.

The DOGE was established in 2018 with the goal of identifying and eliminating wasteful government spending. Since its inception, the DOGE has identified over $300 billion in potential savings, making it a valuable resource in our efforts to reduce government spending and promote fiscal responsibility.

In light of the current economic climate, it is more important than ever that we take a hard look at our government’s spending and make necessary cuts. The DOGE’s work product provides a roadmap for where these cuts can be made without sacrificing essential services or programs. By utilizing their findings, we can make significant strides in reducing our national debt and ensuring a more sustainable future for our country.

That is why I am urging Congress to pass a “rescission” package that would enact the DOGE’s recommended spending cuts. This package would allow us to make targeted and strategic cuts to government programs and agencies, rather than across-the-board cuts that could have unintended consequences.

Some may argue that these cuts would be too drastic and could harm important programs. However, the DOGE’s recommendations are based on thorough research and analysis, and they have identified areas where spending can be reduced without compromising the effectiveness of these programs. In fact, many of the proposed cuts would simply eliminate duplicative or unnecessary spending, allowing us to redirect those funds to more pressing needs.

Furthermore, enacting a rescission package would send a strong message to the American people that our government is serious about addressing our nation’s financial challenges. It would demonstrate our commitment to fiscal responsibility and show that we are willing to make tough decisions in order to secure a better future for our country.

I understand that passing a rescission package may not be an easy task, especially in our current political climate. However, I believe that this is a necessary step in order to get our nation’s finances back on track. It is time for both parties to come together and work towards a common goal of reducing government spending and promoting fiscal responsibility.

In conclusion, I urge the White House, the House, and the Senate to work together and put together a rescission package using the DOGE’s work product as a guide. By doing so, we can make significant progress in reducing our national debt and ensuring a more sustainable future for our country. Let us not waste this opportunity to make a positive impact on our nation’s finances. The time for action is now.
