Senator Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., along with other Republican senators want to cut wasteful government spending left over from the COVID emergency.
An effort to save American taxpayers over $13 billion dollars by reigning in wasteful spending has failed after Senate Democrats voted down Senator Eric Schmitt's, R-Mo., disapproval resolution. 'Today, Senate Democrats chose to continue their effort to shelter unelected bureaucrats from any sort of accountability and embolden the Biden Administration’s disastrous efforts to waste more taxpayer money on pet projects unrelated to their original intent,' Sen.
Folks, the pandemic is over. Thank goodness. Thank God the pandemic is over. It's been over for four years now. We've seen different folks back home, you know, trying to use these COVID dollars. They have built golf courses and swimming pools, they're spending them on illegal immigrants. That type of thing. That was not the intent of these dollars,' Sen. Marshall stated. 'I think in any other time or place, this kind of wasteful spending and fraud would have been a scandal.
That's a lie. I mean, we shouldn't be surprised by that now. It's a total lie. Essentially, the obligations that are committed before the end of 2024, according to existing law, will be honored,' Schmitt countered. 'When this law was passed, every governor… knew exactly what the rules were and were structuring their programs around the rules. So if there's somebody who says, 'oh, I didn't know what those rules are,' it's not the truth,' Sen.
