In some cases,
programs receive more money than they may actually need at that time;
thus, you have a situation where you are ending up wasting dollars,
rather than being good and efficient stewards of the taxpayer dollars. I think we saw that with this omnibus bill we have in front of us
now, it gave our new President the opportunity to weigh in. Clearly, we
heard President Trump's priorities expressed not only throughout the
campaign but early in his new administration, his priorities on
national security, making sure that from a defense perspective and
border security, these issues were addressed. I think we have done so
in a responsible way on the defense spending side but also with a
comprehensive approach to border security and utilizing new
surveillance and new technologies. This bill consolidates or terminates dozens of existing programs and
rejects unnecessary spending tax dollars. It reduces spending and
wasteful programs, eliminates unnecessary, ineffective, and duplicative
programs.
