“Trump is Clawing Back Federal Spending”

Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About”

Air Date Monday, July 21, 2025

To say that President Trump is on a roll would be the understatement of the year. With the slightest of margins in both houses of Congress, Republicans continue to deliver to the American people the President’s campaign promises.

When was the last time you can remember when Congress voted to make significant real cuts to the federal budget in the billions?

The “claw-back” bill is Trump’s latest Congressional victory, which will incorporate recommended DOGE cuts to the tune of $9 billion.

Granted, $9 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to the total federal budget, but it’s a start.

The critical thing to remember is that the federal budget represents the people's money, not the left’s personal piggy bank.

There will be more cost-cutting packages to come; Congress must continue to crank them out.

Let’s hope Republicans can keep this going.
