WASHINGTON—House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) today voted to support the rescissions package submitted to Congress by the Trump administration, a common-sense step toward restoring fiscal responsibility and curbing unnecessary government spending.
“Washington has a spending problem, and this package is another step in the right direction,” Chairwoman McClain said. “These targeted rescissions are about eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, not cutting essential services. We cannot keep passing the buck to future generations. I’m proud to support this effort to streamline federal spending and protect hard-working taxpayers.”
The rescissions package withdraws $9 billion in unspent federal funds, returning taxpayer dollars to the Treasury instead of allowing them to be used inefficiently or redirected without oversight.
