She aims to cut spending, reduce the national deficit, and potentially help Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections. Greene plans to focus on eliminating wasteful programs while maintaining essential services.
from all House committees, the Georgia Republican is poised to chair what is arguably the most impactful subcommittee in Congress.and open two years of investigations into federal waste, fraud, and abuse in a way that has possibly never been tried.
In her first hearing tomorrow, Greene will look at the general landscape of federal spending and potential waste. She has a hearing scheduled to get into the specifics of funding for National Public Radio and Public TV. While she is aiming to cut wasteful spending, Greene also promised to maintain critical spending that Americans rely on.
“I have a business mindset, and the only way I can look at the government is through making a failing company that’s about to go bankrupt into a successful company. And so you have to start with the simple things,” she said, citing fraud such as paying dead people.
