On DOGE Day Bean Unveils Bills to Cut Government Spending

WASHINGTON—During the DOGE Day press conference, founder and co-chair of the House DOGE Caucus Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) unveiled a trio of bills aimed at saving taxpayer dollars and holding the government accountable to hardworking Americans. 

“America is in danger. Not only do we have $36 trillion in debt, but we are adding $1 trillion in debt every 100 days. That means all the promises we’ve made as a government to our veterans and seniors—to take care of them—are in danger because we are overspending ourselves into oblivion. The American people said they want change, and the DOGE Caucus is here to make that change and ensure the government works for the people,” said Congressman Bean. 

Bean’s package of bills to save taxpayer dollars includes: 

• The DRAIN THE SWAMP Act to authorize the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to relocate 30% of federal agency staff to places other than the metropolitan area surrounding Washington, D.C.  The remaining federal workers in the capital region would be required to work in person 100% of the time.
   
• The CUTS Act to slash wasteful Green New Deal initiatives and claw back unspent Covid funds saving tens of billions of dollars.
   
• The PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS Act to cut congressional office budgets by $100,000 each year to help reduce federal spending and put less on our nation’s credit card.
