Marjorie Taylor Green announced that we will see the first DOGE cuts rescission bill of $9 billion on Monday. Foreign aid, NPR, and CPB are up for cutting. A rescission bill is a type of bill in the United States that rescinds funding that was previously included in an appropriations bill.
The cuts are precision cuts and targeted. For example, one bill cuts HHS’s $2.9 billion refugee facility contract. They are not random, and pinpoint needless waste.
Our national debt will destroy us, and we have to turn this around.
The Rescission Bills Are Coming
In the clip below, OMB Director Russ Vought explained they are looking at saving $3 trillion over ten years on tariffs. He also said the DOGE cuts are coming.
“We are going to send up rescission bills,” he began.
“There’s this meme out there that we’re not sending rescissions bills up. We have a $9 billion package of DOGE cuts to foreign aid in Corporation for Public Broadcasting and NPR, it is almost ready to go up.
“The delay is because the House actually wants to pass it, and we have been working with House appropriators, Tom Cole Mario Diaz Ballard.
“For the first time in history, I’ve had conversations with the House appropriators. They want to pass it in the House and put pressure on the Senate,” Vought continued.
“I don’t want to send rescission bills up there that go nowhere.
If that doesn’t work, they are keeping impoundment on the table.
“And then, of course, we remain committed in keeping impoundment on the table so if they don’t move these cuts, we are still going to have our executive tools to in fiscal year 25 … to bend and cut and reduce woke and weaponized bureaucracy and make Doge cuts permanent.”
Serious About Cutting
Federal spending ballooned 51.7% from FY2019 to FY2024—$4.4T to $6.7T—while deficits exploded by 85.9%.
Foreign aid’s a drop in the bucket compared to systemic waste: USAID’s $1.75B GAVI Foundation grant and State Department’s $781M WHO funding epitomize misaligned priorities. DOGE’s leaderboard ranks HHS, GSA, and Education as top spenders—agencies that grew budgets 42-157% in 5 years.
We also need to end automatic renewals of expired programs (30% of federal spending). The Pentagon has to be audited. They literally lose billions of dollars in some dark hole.
Debt service now exceeds defense spending—that’s the real emergency.

The GOP will help the Democrats tank this bill.
Nice AI picture. Ev4ryone’s face looks like that Twilight Zone episode after they took their masks off. And that one poor guy had his legs hacked off with that cleaver on the butcher table.
That’s not AI, his name is Stumpy.
The rinos will make sure they lose bills don’t pass and we all know that so why not just say that in the article..
If the public does not see lots of action to help the Trump agenda, the GOP loses the house. Force votes, then primary RINOs.
Never happen, too many stupid Americans too chicken to step out of their comfort zones, they are content with just kicking the debt can down the road. After all, it’s only their kids, grand kids and great grand kids who will be chained down by it.
In what world does any of this spending make any sense? Our country has gone completely insane politically, financially, morally and spiritually. $8B reduction on a $4.5T budget with another $2T in deficit/money print spend next year. Pocket change trumpeted as some big “thing”. Good grief.
Correct. It’s all smoke / mirrors to keep the (dumbed down) people thinking something’s actually happening. As to something actually happening, Thomas Massie said it best: “we’re not just re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic, we’re shoveling coal and increasing the speed, heading directly -for- the iceberg!”
It only makes sense to the fed, and associated banks/investors, which make lots from our debt. Also, those living off the government who did not earn the money.
The “spiritually” part is the reason for all the rest you mention.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
This verse is about the Israelites, God’s covenant people. If they repent, God will heal their land (here likely from the drought by sending rain). That doesn’t mean this verse doesn’t support your point, for individuals as well as nations. For America, it wouldn’t be based upon a national covenant with God, nor would it be likely that any more than a comparative handful of Americans, even among Christians, understand true, honest, sincere repentance sufficient to heal this land politically, financially, morally, or spiritually. But I would never bet against God doing that if even one American, maybe you, were to pray for all Americans and accomplish that anyway. Nowhere in scripture does it say that one or all can have too much faith, pray too much, or repent, if necessary, too often.
