This week, Ending Spending was proud to join with Americans for Tax Reform and forty-one other taxpayer-friendly organizations in urging Congress to create a Committee to Reduce Government Waste.
In a Congress whose committees generally focus on growing government, it just seems natural that one should focus on shrinking it. A body authorized only to cut spending, such a committee would mimic the mid-20th century effort that was successful in rolling back many parts of the New Deal. Just as the continuation of New Deal programs threatened to overwhelm our economy back then with unsustainable debt, our current climate of out-of-control spending and government expansion demands a similar solution.
