Building on the success of the recently passed rescissions package, Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., told Newsmax on Tuesday that she is “looking forward” to working with the Trump administration on the appropriations process because it helps the Senate stay accountable to the American people and make spending cuts.
“We need to put forth some fiscal responsibility and be able to tackle that reckless spending,” Fischer said on “Wake Up America.” “We showed we could do it. As you said, it was [a] $9 billion [rescissions package] — that’s only one-tenth of 1% of the federal budget. But we were able to bend that curve and start to tackle the problems that we’re facing now.
“I am on the Appropriations Committee,” she said. “We’re going to be taking up three of those appropriations bills this week, finish them off next week. That’s the process we need to go through, so we have transparency here in Congress. I’m looking forward to working with President Trump and the administration so that we can work together to look at where those cuts need to be made and what we need to prioritize for the federal government to spend hard-working American taxpayers’ dollars on.”
