I wrote a guest column for the local papers in Southeast Texas and wanted to share with you.
Tax season is upon us, and hardworking Americans across the country are cutting checks to the federal government. But as you crunch the numbers, ask yourself: Is Washington spending your tax dollars wisely?
Unfortunately, the answer is a resounding no. Waste, fraud and abuse are deeply embedded in our federal agencies. Instead of being good stewards of your money, unelected bureaucrats funnel billions into pet projects, reckless spending, and unaccountable programs.
Our tax dollars should be working for you, not funding the Left’s radical agenda.
That all stopped under President Trump.
On day one, President Trump took decisive action, saving Americans over $180 billion — that’s roughly $2,100 per family of four — by halting job-killing Biden-era regulations.
But he didn’t stop there. He also tasked Elon Musk with conducting a top-to-bottom audit of the federal government, identifying waste, fraud and abuse that have been entrenched in Washington for decades.
The results? Exactly what we expected — bureaucratic bloat, reckless handouts, and an appalling disregard for the American taxpayer.
Enough is enough. The buck stops now. Literally.
Think about it: Washington politicians and career bureaucrats have no problem sending your tax dollars to fund transgender surgeries, bankroll climate change propaganda and promote woke ideologies in foreign countries.
Meanwhile, Americans struggled under skyrocketing inflation, energy costs, and a border crisis that Joe Biden refused to fix in the four years in office and instead drove our country into the ground.
If you don’t think our government is bloated and out of touch, I’ve got oceanfront property in Oklahoma to sell you. Course-correcting won’t be painless — there will be some tough decisions ahead. But if we don’t get spending under control and tackle our mounting debt, we won’t just be fixing a mess—we’ll be fighting to save our great nation.
President Trump is putting America First again — cutting waste, stopping the radical Left’s agenda, and making sure your hard-earned money stays where it belongs: with you and your family. This tax season, it’s time to ask: Are we funding the American dream, or are we bankrolling a bureaucratic nightmare?
It’s time to take back control. In November, the American people demanded accountability. And under President Trump, we’re making it happen.
In the House of Representatives, we passed a continuing resolution to keep the lights on while we continue exposing waste, fraud, and abuse.
The next step is coming together with the Senate for reconciliation to start cutting the bloated spending. We’re also working to get the FY26 appropriations bills in order—because it’s time to change the tide in Washington.
Next tax season, you deserve to know that your hard-earned dollars are funding your family’s priorities and upholding American values — not Washington’s wasteful agenda.
