It’s one thing to talk a good game when it comes to cutting spending in Washington. But it’s another thing to actually do something about that. The American people are sick and tired of seeing their tax dollars squandered, and nothing reeks of Permanent Washington more than reckless spending and government waste.
This is a big week on Capitol Hill. The Senate is working with President Donald Trump to pass a rescissions package that cuts billions in unnecessary spending and makes the DOGE cuts permanent. This rescissions package before us defunds $1.1 billion for the left-wing Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which uses Americans’ tax dollars to fund radical outlets like National Public Radio (NPR).
This should be a no-brainer. We should not be giving NPR another dime for its liberal propaganda masquerading as “news.”
That is why one of the first bills I introduced when I got to the Senate just a few months ago was my Defund NPR Act, which does just that. The American people’s tax dollars should not be forced to fund NPR’s liberal bias. If NPR cannot stay afloat without the government’s help, then that tells you all you need to know.
