And this is STILL less than one percent of two trillion in cuts promised by DOGE.

""This rescissions package reflects many of DOGE's findings and is one of the many legislative tools Republicans are using to restore fiscal sanity," Johnson said."
Yeah surem those tax cuts cuts for the rich are efforts to restore fiscal sanity and not really just ROI for Republican donors who view political donations as investments.

He had better hurry.

He still has not even passed the "We are all gonna die!" bill and the mid terms are just around the corner.

Stay low and keep your powder dry.
