U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), a leading champion for taxpayers in Washington, announced the founding of the Senate DOGE Caucus, which will work hand in hand with the Trump administration’s recently formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to identify and eliminate government waste.
The newly formed caucus will build upon Senator Ernst’s decade-long work to make Washington “squeal” by exposing trillions in waste, fraud, and abuse.
“Iowans elected me with a mandate to cut Washington’s pork and make ‘em squeal! From billion-dollar boondoggles to welfare for politicians and trillion-dollar slush funds, my decade-long investigations have exposed levels of abuse that are almost too insane to believe,” said Ernst. “The tables are finally turning, the knives are out, and waste is on the chopping block. As President Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy prepare to take action, the Senate DOGE Caucus is ready to carry out critical oversight in Congress and use our legislative force to fight against the entrenched bureaucracy, trim the fat, and get Washington back to work for Americans.”
“We look forward to partnering with the Senate to downsize government. Grateful to Senator Joni Ernst for her excellent suggestions yesterday,” said Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of DOGE.
Senator Ernst is working with Representatives Aaron Bean (R-Fla.) and Pete Sessions (R-Texas), co-chairs of the House DOGE Caucus, and is joined by Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rick Scott (R-Fla.). Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), and James Lankford (R-Okla.)in founding the Senate DOGE Caucus.
“Our national debt has surpassed a staggering $36 trillion and should be a wakeup call for all Americans. We must take action to avoid diving headfirst off the cliff of fiscal ruin. The DOGE Caucus will work with President Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy to dismantle the out-of-control bureaucracy, cut wasteful programs, slash excess regulations, and restructure federal agencies,” said Bean. “As House co-founder of the now Bicameral DOGE Caucus, I look forward to partnering with Senator Ernst to help rein in reckless spending and stop the abuse of taxpayer dollars.”
“As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, addressing waste, fraud, and abuse in government has been a top priority of mine,” said Sessions. “According to a report from the GAO, over $2.7 trillion has been lost in fraud and improper payments since 2003. This is an absolutely unacceptable misuse of taxpayer dollars. Hardworking Americans deserve a government that works efficiently and effectively. I am committed to working in bicameral fashion with Senator Ernst, Congressman Bean, and my colleagues in the DOGE Caucus to continue rooting out inefficiency in our government, ensuring taxpayers get the accountability and results they deserve.”
Senator Ernst is a liar owned by the Blue Cross Association (BCA), just like Rick Scott of Florida. Both of these liars promised in 2012 that they would repeal Obamacare, like all Republicans running in 2012. Rick Scott said he understood healthcare because his Hospital chain paid the highest Medicare fraud fine of all time.
Senator Ernst became a National Republican Star with her famous 30-second TV commercial, in which she rode a motorcycle, whipped out a pistol, and fired six shots into the Bull’s Eye of a target that said Obamacare!
In 2024, neither of these two liars will mention Obamacare. Sessions from Texas is another piece of work. Pete Sessions supports taxing the tax-free HSA like a Roth. Dr. John Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) calls himself the Father of HSAs. Goodman tells Sessions what to think, and the Father of the tax-free HSA wants to tax America’s only tax-free account!
The Wall Street Journal might call Dr. John Goodman the Father of HSAs, but I enrolled the first one, so who really is the Father of the HSA? Some non-licensed Texan or me, an Iowan licensed coast to coast who enrolled the nation’s first HSA in 1996 when they were called Medical Savings Accounts (MSA) during the “Original Pilot Test.”
Maybe some of you remember my advertising the tax-free MSA in 1999 on Rush Radio in Des Moines, Omaha, and Lincoln. The ads said, “Governor George W. Bush supports tax-free MSAs for all Americans, but if you’re self-employed, you can start today, go TAX-FREE with an MSA, at Save101.com I spent millions to give America tax-free HSAs!
