Relating to Consideration of the Senate Amendment to H.R. Rescissions Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chair Foxx for yielding to me.

Mr. Speaker, we all know what Neil Armstrong said when he first walked on the Moon. As founder of the DOGE Caucus, I am proud to say that, with this rescissions package, the first of its kind in 25 years, we are taking one small step to cut wasteful spending but one giant leap toward fiscal sanity. Yet, Houston, we have a problem. We are still $37 trillion in debt. This year alone, we will run a $1.7 trillion deficit. With this small step today, let's commit to the giant leap.

Here is my challenge to the White House: Let's do a rescissions package every month because America has had enough--enough to wasteful spending, enough to out-of-control deficits.

We do have a long journey ahead, but, thankfully, not as far as the Moon. All systems are go. Let the countdown begin, and let's launch to fiscal sanity by voting ``yes'' to clawing back $9 billion.

I am ready. The House is ready. America is ready. Let's go get `em.
