Russ Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and a Heritage Action alum, is slashing wasteful government spending as a result of this shutdown. In just the past few days he’s cut:
-
$7.5 billion in Department of Energy project funds.
-
$8 billion in Green New Scam funding.
-
$18 billion in DEI-tied projects in New York.
Washington is bloated with unaccountable, left-wing agencies that waste taxpayer dollars, erode our freedoms, and undermine the will of the American people. Together, Russ Vought and President Trump are showing the courage to do what conservatives have wanted for decades: restore constitutional government by cutting the size of government, dismantling the administrative state, and returning power to the people.
We’re about to see just how much of the bloated federal government is nothing more than wasteful bureaucracy. Entire agencies that have long outlived their usefulness are finally facing the reckoning they deserve. Director Vought is making that happen.
