(Washington D.C.) As Americans prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) presents the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with a comprehensive plan to cut over $2 trillion in wasteful spending.
Ernst’s proposed cuts include:
*Selling empty government buildings that cost taxpayers billions.
*Auditing the IRS and terminating employment for the hundreds of agents who owe back taxes.
*Halting President Biden’s billion-dollar electric vehicle program.
*Stopping taxpayer-funded absurd studies, such as research on shrimp running on treadmills.
* Reviewing the government’s secret slush funds and canceling outdated accounts, including billions left over from COVID-19 relief.
*Eliminating unnecessary subsidies in California.
* Ending welfare programs for politicians.
Ernst, who chairs the Senate DOGE Caucus, leads the fight against inefficiency in Washington by drawing on her decade of experience identifying waste, fraud, and abuse through her monthly “Squeal Awards.”
