The @HouseGOP is working to save America from the double-barreled disaster of stagflation while Dems fiddle. We offer to do what we said - spending reforms, not a blind increase of Govt borrowing. What’s possible? THREAD: (1/7) #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica

1st, we return discretionary spending to 2022 levels (i.e. what we were spending 4 mos ago) to fund defense at 2023 levels (beat China) & simply cut weaponized bureaucracy to pre-COVID 2019 levels, which is exactly 2024 levels in Obama’s last budget! (2/7) #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica

2nd, we save around $500BB in CURRENT $ by reclaiming COVID emergency spending - some $70+ billion of unobligated COVID money & the $400+ Billion in the unfair transfer of bloated student loan payments to the working class… #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica (3/7)

3rd, we offer a version of shutdown prevention that would set a default “CR” to cut discretionary spending a modest 2%, but keep govt services running in the process until Congress gets its act together to do its job to pass responsible spending bills. #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica (4/7)

4th, we could reverse the devastating effects of the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act’ which Goldman Sachs reports at $1.2 Trillion… but worse, would devastate American energy further, & spike inflation costs for working Americans! #EnergyFreedom (5/7) theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz…

5th, we would cap top-line discretionary spending for 10 years at about 1-2% growth - enabling us to save some $3 trillion over 10 years… but also force an actual debate about guns & butter. End the writing of blank checks for political expediency. #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica (6/7)

6th, there are many other ways to save money & cut wasteful/weaponized/woke bureaucracy to grow the economy, protect Americans, & reduce inflationary pressures… from cutting IRS expansion to passing the regulation-reducing “REINS” Act… #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica (7/7)

There are numerous other ways to cut spending that would improve our country - including ending the silliness of bankrolling the World Health Organization. #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica
