The Fight For Fiscal Sanity 💰



<[link removed]>



It was another busy week in Washington, but I’m confident we’re getting
somewhere and making America great again.



First, I want you to know I voted in favor of
<[link removed]>
funding the federal government through the end of September (that’s the pesky
little “CR” we always talk about).



Since I've been here, this is the first time we’ve actually made some cuts and
reduced the size of government.To break it down, we slashed $14 billion of
non-defensediscretionary spending
<[link removed]>
—and it doesn't touch Medicare or Medicaid.



I voted in favor of this budget because I’m happy to finally see some fiscal
responsibility at play. More importantly, we gotta keep the government open so
President Trump, his cabinet, and my colleagues and I can continue down the
path of limited government.



And speaking of President Trump, this week I also introduced the Legislative
Line Item Veto Act,
<[link removed]>
which grants him the authority to propose cancellations of specific
discretionary budget amounts, direct spending limits, or targeted tax benefits
within 30 days of a bill’s enactment.



What does all that legal mumbo jumbo mean?



It basically gives President Trump a tool to cut wasteful spending after all
of us in Congress pass a budget. If there’s unnecessary spending in a bill, he
can flag it and ask Congress to trim the fat before the money gets spent. He
gets 30 days to do that, and if needed, Congress gets another 30 days to make a
decision.



The point is, we’re in too deep right now, and the President needs every tool
to stop the reckless spending that’s digging us deeper into this hole of debt.



We’ve got to start chipping away somewhere, and these are some big steps in
the right direction.

I recently toured the new Covenant Health Park with Mayor Kincannon—and let me
tell you, this stadium is going to be a game-changer for Knoxville.
