Ernst: Democrats are Spending Money “High on the Hog”
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) today slammed Democrats for spending taxpayer money without Republican input or support, and then asking for Republican votes to pay for it and to raise the debt limit. Instead, Ernst is putting forward legislation—the Prime CUTS (Cancel Unnecessary Transactions and Spending) Act—that would save billions of dollars for taxpayers by putting Washington waste on the chopping block.

Ernst’s Prime CUTS Act would eliminate unnecessary spending on:
- Government swag and propaganda;
- Welfare to fund politicians’ campaigns for president;
- Boondoggle transit projects that are billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule;
- Coins that cost more to produce than their actual value;
- End of the year use-it-or-lose-it spending sprees by binge buying bureaucrats; and
- Surplus and unneeded storage space.
