About this sermon
The incoming Trump administration is interested in slashing wasteful government spending. The president-elect asked Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the charge. They head up the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE. Both men were on Capitol Hill meeting with Republican lawmakers. Former President Ronald Reagan once said government is not the solution to complex problems, but rather the problem itself. The ultimate goal of this Government Efficiency Department is to cut some $2 trillion from the current budget and also identify more cuts in future budgets. Ramaswamy and Musk did not speak to reporters, but Speaker Mike Johnson did and says he's optimistic about cutting government spending. Among those attending, the new chair of the Senate DOGE Caucus, Joni Ernst, says one way to trim the fat is to get rid of empty federal buildings, which could save more than $15 billion a year. A report found that since COVID, only 6% of the federal workforce actually "report in-person on a full-time basis" every day. Republicans say they have a mandate for change. Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
