Rescissions Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MESSMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025.

For decades, Americans have been waiting for their leadership to deliver on the promise that fiscal responsibility was on its way.

Wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars has been overlooked for far too long. For far too many years, leaders have kicked the can down the road, hoping a future Congress would make the hard decisions required to stop the financial bleeding.

As a proud Hoosier, I know that if we are doing our best to live within our means as a family, the government should do no less.

Congress must deliver on the promise of safeguarding American taxpayer dollars. I am proud to vote today to make this first initial step to eliminate wasteful government spending.

The Department of Government Efficiency did our country a great service in lifting the veil on how much fraud, abuse, and terrible waste of taxpayer dollars is truly happening in our government agencies.

By passing the Rescissions Act today, I join my colleagues in showing Americans that we hear them and we know that this change must be made. It is high time we work toward getting our fiscal house in order, and this is the first step.
