Lawmakers spar over DOGE as Republicans look to lock in cuts
Briefly

During a DOGE subcommittee hearing, Republicans and Democrats discussed the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, which aimed at cost savings and operational efficiency. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene emphasized the need for permanent cuts and legislative actions to ensure government efficiency. Critics argue that DOGE's efforts may have made some processes less efficient. Despite recent challenges, the administration seeks additional funding for DOGE while aiming for a $9 billion rescission package targeting foreign aid. Democrats disputed the true efficacy of DOGE.
"To win this war, we need to make sure these cuts aren't just temporary," said Greene, emphasizing the need for legislation to enforce efficiency.
"We need to lock in DOGE savings for the taxpayers... the government is like an 'overgrown, out-of-control animal,'" said Rep. Greene.
