Sen. Marsha Blackburn has introduced a comprehensive plan aimed at reducing government waste and reforming federal spending. Her proposal includes several key measures: implementing zero-based budgeting to justify all federal expenditures annually, requiring Congress to pass a budget on time, and ensuring that any new spending is offset by cuts elsewhere. Additionally, Blackburn's plan seeks to eliminate what she describes as "woke" and "slush fund" programs, focusing instead on core government functions. She emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in federal spending, arguing that these reforms would help control the national debt and reduce the deficit. The plan also involves setting up a commission to review and potentially overhaul federal agencies, aiming to streamline government operations and eliminate inefficiencies.
