House Doge Pododdodbornica Chair Greene Salary ‘War on Waste’ in First Hearing

A sub -house for the delivery of government efficiency delivered his first hearing on Wednesday, as the Republicans criticized a burning national debt of $ 36 trillion, as well as democratic condemnation for Elon Musk’s effort to reduce waste.

In her introductory statement, president Tail. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rs.c., He said the Committee must be “brutally honest about the fact that this huge debt came in the first place – he came from the congress and from the chosen presidential administrations.”

“We as Republicans and Democrats can still firmly adhere to our beliefs, but we will have to let them finance them to save our submerged ship, “Greene said.” This is not time for political theater and partisan attacks. The American people are watching. A legislative branch cannot sit aside. We will fight the shoulders of the shoulders to the shoulder with President Trump, in this subcontractor, Elon musk And the reach of the team. ”

Greene said “securing our nation in a long” is one of the “greatest betrayal against the selected Government of the American people” and vowed that her sub -dodge, who operates on the House Supervision Committee, will cooperate with the newly opened Department of Efficiency of the Prime Minister of Prime Minister Donald Trump (Doge), who leads Musk as part of the executive.

“The federal government, government employees and unprecedented bureaucrats do not live according to the same rules as the great American people and private companies,” Greene said. “The income of the federal government is difficult to earn the tax dollars of the American people. Their literal blood, sweat and tears and taxes are collected by law on weapons. Do not pay taxes and go to prison. The federal government does not have to allow excellent user service to make your money.

The highest Democrat of the pododora, the delegate of Melanie Stanbury from Novi Mexico, used her introductory statement for Slam Trump and men’s efforts, despite a decent approach to a double -sided approach “digging in more than $ 236 billion in irregular wages we see coming out of the door every year,” And “setting up strict supervision and controls to prevent fraud and abuse, and, of course, go after bad actors.”

“We can’t just sit here today and pretend everything is normal and this is just another hearing about government efficiency,” Stanbury said. “Because as we sit here, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have recklessly and illegally dismantled the Federal Government, closing the federal agencies, releasing federal workers, denying funds vital for the safety and well -being of our communities and hacking our sensitive data systems. ”

One of the witnesses, Stephen Whitson of the Government Liability Foundation, testified that Doge’s efforts have been exposed to $ 59 million paid by luxury hotels in New York City to accommodate illegal immigrants$ 1.5 million to improve diversity, capital and involvement in Serbia’s jobs, $ 32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru, aid worth $ 10 million, AL -Qaededa’s dietary assistance and “List continues”.

“But instead of greeting Doge’s work, the left launched a coordinated campaign to try to demonize Mr. Musk with the hope of focusing on catastrophic waste, fraud and abuse that happened on the Biden clock. But guess what? is whitson.

He switched to the focus of the hearing on Wednesday, the waste and fraud of Medicaid, testifying that more than 80% of the irregular payments of Medicaid were due to the error of the eligibility, which Congress must solve. Whitson testified that one of the five dollars was spent on Medicaid inappropriate, and the fraud and poor management of Medicaid on the way are that US taxpayers cost $ 1 trillion in the next 10 years.

‘Obama Bros’ on Doge -u: ‘Some things we should have done’

Whitson also offered Congress three ways to support Trump’s efforts. The first is that the Congress reinforces the Medicaid program by legislative action. He testified that both the Administrations of Biden and Obama had issued the rules and guidelines that made the states make sure to check for the eligibility for Medicaid. He said that the abolition of Biden’s Medicaid would simplify the rule that limits the evidence of the eligibility that the states could do, save $ 164 billion for 10 years.

In a later exchange, Whitson said that the rule from the Biden time forbids the countries to check the eligibility more than once a year and forbids interviews for a person or telephone call to confirm the identity of the recipient.

Also opens “long -lasting periods of review”, opening the door for illegal immigrants to receive benefits.

“The state has to wait at least 90 days” before checking that the recipient is an illegal immigrant, Whitson said. “And in fact what we see is that some state is to wait 13 years.”

Second, Whitson said Congress could help Doge “ensuring that the rooted partisan bureaucrats are not in the way of reforms.” In order to achieve this, the Congress must codify the president’s authority “to release unproductive or unwavering agencies employees as needed,” as well as approves the president to permanently remove free positions and consolidate irrelevant positions in all agencies and departments to help promote efficiency, Whitson said.

“The staff is politics and without a competent staff for the faithful execution of the president’s agenda, the Doga project will not succeed,” he said.

Third, Whitson called on the Congress to pass the Law on Green to “become a decrease in President Trump’s costs and deregulating reforms permanent.”

“There is only one big problem with the efforts of Doge. Most of his work can undo the future president with a pencil shock,” he said, adding that the Law on Sredija “would restore an article of a budget power to the purse to the congress while promoting a deregulation.

At the second moment of hearing, Ambassador Eric Burlison, R-M, played the archived video of former President Bill Clinton in 1997 and former President Barack Obama in 2011, promised to reduce federal labor and close hundreds of government offices outside Washington. Obama spoke In 2011, from the “campaign to reduce waste” of his administration, saying at that time, we thought it was completely appropriate for our governments and our agencies to try to eradicate waste in a systematic way, large and small. “From the oval office, Obama added that” there are many actions in the congress and legislative, but in the meantime, we do not need to wait for a congress to do something about a wasteful spending outside. ”
