Government waste is everywhere, in every department, program, and contract. To tackle America's 36 trillion dollar debt, we need to examine all areas. On the oversight subcommittee, we'll investigate government-funded media like NPR, which spreads propaganda. We'll also scrutinize grant programs that fund projects like sex apps in Malaysia and toilets in Africa, programs that don't benefit Americans. I also want to address the Pentagon about their missing billions and failed audits.

This hearing of the Oversight Subcommittee on Doge will focus on bringing full transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Our national debt is $36 trillion, and the compounding interest is growing out of control, projected to exceed our entire military budget. These interest payments don't serve Americans; they enslave us to those who own our debt, driving inflation and crippling small businesses. This debt results from Congress and elected administrations, betraying the American people. Unlike private businesses that depend on customer service and smart financial management, the federal government takes our tax dollars regardless of its performance. We must tackle this problem together, setting aside political theater. This subcommittee will fight the war on waste with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team, starting with improper payments in Medicaid and Medicare. The American people are watching.

Crooked Joe Biden has wasted trillions of taxpayer dollars, causing uncontrolled inflation that is hurting working families. To stop inflation and rescue the economy, we must rein in Biden's spending. However, the burden should fall on special interests and Washington bureaucrats, not American families and seniors. The president should have the power to stop unnecessary spending, as Thomas Jefferson and other presidents did. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 curtailed this power, which is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers. When I return to the White House, I will challenge this act in court and use impoundment to save money and reduce taxes. We won't touch Medicare or Social Security, and the funds saved can strengthen these programs. Restoring impoundment will also help control spending, balance the budget, and eliminate the deep state and globalists from our government. I alone can make America great again.

We propose starting from zero and determining what's necessary, aiming for a 75% reduction in federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. The federal Department of Education, which spends $80 billion, is unnecessary since education should be managed locally. By eliminating excessive regulations and reducing the federal bureaucracy, we can lower the national debt and stimulate economic growth. These savings, combined with a growing economy, will help us stabilize finances without affecting Social Security or Medicare. Once we achieve a surplus in Social Security, we can reassess our financial strategies.

To address inflation, we need to tackle massive deficit spending and government waste. If the economy grows faster than the money supply, meaning we stop government overspending and the output of useful goods and services exceeds the increase in money, we can eliminate inflation. High interest payments are due to the increasing national debt, with the government competing with private citizens to sell debt, driving up interest rates. Cutting back on the deficit leads to the elimination of inflation and lower interest rates. This would reduce mortgage, credit card, car, and student loan payments, making life more affordable and improving the overall standard of living for people.

I argued for freezing federal spending, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans' funds. I tried this approach multiple times, but it's challenging to address these sacred cows without protecting some more than others. I'm unsure how we can navigate this path.

The most important thing to focus on is how much the government is spending, as that is the true tax. Every budget is balanced, whether through explicit taxes, inflation, or borrowing. The key is to keep government spending as a fraction of our income low. By doing so, we can stop worrying about the debt.

The goal is to restore democracy by fixing the feedback loop between the people and the government. We can't have a democracy if the bureaucracy is in charge and unresponsive to the public's elected representatives. The bureaucracy has become an unconstitutional branch of government with too much power. We also need to address the $2 trillion deficit, which threatens to bankrupt the country. Interest payments on the national debt exceed the defense budget. It's essential to reduce federal expenses to keep America solvent. We've found odd instances of bureaucrats with modest salaries accumulating tens of millions in net worth. Basic controls are missing, leading to blank checks being issued without categorization or explanation. Payments are made to entities on the "do not pay" list. We need common-sense controls to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and to address issues like Social Security payments to 150-year-olds.

Focus on one key aspect: government spending, as it reflects the true tax burden. Every budget is balanced; if not through direct taxes, it's through inflation or borrowing. The priority should be to monitor government spending relative to our income. By controlling this spending, concerns about debt can be alleviated.

The key focus should be on how much the government is spending, as that is the true tax. Every budget is balanced, meaning you are always paying for it, whether through explicit taxes, inflation, or borrowing. The important thing is to control government spending as a percentage of our income. By doing so, we can alleviate concerns about the debt.

The government will always spend whatever taxes yield and more. Government is currently too large, with programs that don't work and cause more harm than good. We don't need new government programs. We need to eliminate the ones that aren't effective.

Government waste is everywhere, in every department, program, and contract. To tackle the $36 trillion national debt, we need to examine all areas. As part of the oversight subcommittee, we will investigate government-funded media like NPR, which spreads Democrat propaganda. We will also scrutinize grant programs that fund projects like sex apps in Malaysia and toilets in Africa, which do not benefit Americans. Furthermore, we need to question the Pentagon about their inability to account for billions of dollars annually and their repeated audit failures.

Scott and Mike Pence, both Republicans, voted to raise the debt, while Donald Trump added a staggering $8 trillion to our national debt. This is a burden our children will bear. Looking at the 2024 budget, Republicans requested $7.4 billion in earmarks, while Democrats asked for a mere $800 million. It's clear that the Republicans are the big spenders. We need an accountant in the White House to address this issue.

Our administration's primary goal is restoring democracy by fixing the broken feedback loop between the people and the government. An out-of-control, unelected bureaucracy holds excessive power, undermining the will of the people. We must also address the massive national deficit; its interest payments alone surpass the defense budget. We're finding shocking waste, fraud, and abuse—billions of dollars in improper payments, often lacking basic oversight. Simple controls like payment categorization and verification would drastically reduce this. We're working with agency heads and the President to implement common-sense reforms, increasing transparency and ensuring taxpayer money is spent responsibly. We are committed to fiscal responsibility and economic growth, benefiting all Americans. While we strive for transparency, mistakes will be made, but we will correct them promptly.

Joe Biden has wasted a trillion dollars in less than three years, causing inflation that hurts working families. To stop inflation and save the economy, we need to cut spending, but not at the expense of American families and seniors. The president should have the power to refuse unnecessary spending, as Thomas Jefferson did. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which curtailed this power, is unconstitutional and needs to be challenged. When I return to the White House, I will fight to overturn this act and use impoundment to save money. This will not affect national defense, Medicare, or Social Security. The funds saved can even be used to strengthen Medicare and Social Security. Impoundment will also help control spending and eliminate the deep state and globalists from our government. It's a pro-growth, pro-American, and pro-freedom policy that only I can accomplish.

History shows government spends all tax revenue plus more. Government is too big, its programs aren't working, and it's doing more harm than good. No additional government programs are needed; existing, ineffective ones should be eliminated.

A major goal of this presidency is restoring democracy. True democracy requires a strong feedback loop between the people and their government. Currently, an unelected bureaucracy holds excessive power, undermining the will of the people and elected officials. This is unconstitutional and needs to be corrected. We must also address the massive national deficit—currently exceeding $2 trillion—to prevent national bankruptcy. The interest on this debt surpasses our defense budget, a shocking reality. Reducing federal spending is not optional; it's essential for the nation's solvency and its ability to serve its citizens.

Warren Buffett suggests a solution to the national debt problem in just five minutes. He proposes passing a law that would make all sitting members of congress ineligible for reelection if the deficit exceeds 3% of GDP. According to Buffett, accountability is lacking in America, and implementing it in various sectors such as hospitals, congress, Medicare, Medicaid, real estate, and education would bring about significant changes.

We are working to cut a trillion dollars from the deficit because if we don't get the deficit under control, America will go bankrupt. A country is no different than an individual. If you overspend, you will go bankrupt, and the massive waste and abuse that has been going on has led to a $2 trillion a year deficit. That is what the President was handed on January 20th: a $2 trillion deficit. It's insane.

A significant goal of this presidency is to restore democracy by fixing the feedback loop between the people and the government. Currently, an autonomous bureaucracy often overrides the will of elected representatives, which contradicts the essence of democracy where the public, through the president, house, and senate, should decide what happens. Additionally, we must address the $2 trillion deficit. The interest payments on the national debt now exceed the defense budget, which is unsustainable. Reducing federal expenses isn't optional; it's essential for America's solvency. Without addressing this, we risk bankrupting the country and losing the resources needed to serve our citizens, because we will be stuck servicing vast amounts of debt.

Every budget is balanced, and the true tax is government spending. If you're not paying for it through explicit taxes, you're paying through inflation or borrowing. The key is to monitor government spending, as this is the real tax. The main goal should be to keep government spending down as a fraction of our income. If government spending is controlled, concerns about the debt become less important.

Our federal bureaucracy must be responsive to the people; that's fundamental to our democracy. Currently, this unelected bureaucracy holds excessive power, exceeding that of elected officials – a situation unacceptable to the public. We must address this imbalance. Furthermore, our $2 trillion deficit demands immediate attention. Failure to act will lead to national bankruptcy. The interest payments on our national debt now surpass even our defense budget, a truly alarming reality given our substantial defense spending. We must find a solution to this critical financial problem.

Speaker 0: "Republicans pretend to care about the debt... then they vote for all the spending." "We're gonna expand Social Security by a $100,000,000,000." "Social Security's already going bankrupt." He links the debt to inflation: "inflation that's linked to the debt." He proposes drastic cuts: "the penny plan"—"a freeze in all spending" to "balance within five years," then "a 1% cut" and "the six penny plan." He argues for means testing and raising the age to 70: "the richer would get a lot less." He critiques both parties: "top 1% pay 40% of the income tax. The top 10%, people making 200,000 or more pay 90% of the income tax." He cites "the big not so beautiful bill" and calls for capping Medicaid expansion and shifting Medicaid to the states. He condemns anti-immigration talk as "morons" and says "I commend for the president shutting the border down. I'm a big fan of Elon Musk." He lists three scenarios: "deflating the currency," "domestic unrest," and "war."

We neglect our farmers, while the homeless, sick, and other problems persist in our major cities. Yet, we spend billions defending countries that are wealthier than us. Instead of raising taxes, we should lower them. Our payments to NATO are disproportionate and absurd. Our country is in financial ruin because we engage in unnecessary actions. If we focused on our own interests, we could generate profits and use them to support our homeless, poor, sick, and farmers. We should prioritize spending on those who truly care about us, rather than giving money to countries that don't.

The American people are sick of the lies, cheating, and spending. We're seeing the climax of living beyond our means, fueled by the dollar's reserve currency status. The country is bankrupt, morally and financially, with moral bankruptcy leading to abuse of power. Some in Congress want to cut back spending, but there are loopholes. Congress is not doing its job by passing appropriation bills. Trump is asking Republicans to vote for a bill that largely maintains current spending levels, with an additional $8 billion for military spending. They are always trying to kick the can down the road, they are not cutting spending. The whole system is massive, abused, and immoral. It's going to take some time to fix this issue.
