The federal government of the United States has an obligation to maintain the highest standard of accountability to the American people. Families working hard to make ends meet, paying taxes to the federal government, rightfully expect a government which treats their hard-earned money with respect.
Faced with the consequences of four years of runaway spending, mounting debt, and failed economic leadership from the Biden administration, getting our fiscal house in order is a monumental task. It begins with shedding light on waste, fraud, and abuse in our overgrown bureaucracy and includes getting back to regular order in Congress’ annual process to allocate federal spending.
Our appropriations process is broken.To properly address spending for the upcoming fiscal year, Congress must get back to considering and passing the 12 annual appropriations bills individually, on time.This has only happened four times since 1977, but it is the best way to conduct the productive debate necessary to restore fiscal responsibility.
