U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) held a press conference addressing the impending rescissions bill aimed at reducing federal spending. He stated, "I'm hopeful that we'll have the opportunity to get on that bill and to do something meaningful when it comes to reducing the size and scope of the federal government." Thune emphasized a commitment to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government operations.
Thune criticized Democrats for threatening to shut down the government over the consideration of the rescissions bill, stating that previous administrations have historically used rescissions to control spending. He reminded participants that the proposed cuts represent a mere "one-tenth of 1 percent of all federal spending," underscoring the need for budgetary restraint given the nation’s $36 trillion debt.
He expressed a desire to move forward with procedural votes on the bill, inviting amendments and improvements to the legislation. Thune concluded by highlighting the importance of fiscal responsibility for future generations, asserting, "We have to do something to get spending under control."
