So what the DOGE team needs to do right now is bundle-up a massive pile of rescissions and send them to Capitol Hill to be approved as a pre-condition for passage of the next CR.
We think there is enough fraud, waste and abuse based budget authority lying around the Federal bureaucracy such that a massive $600 billion rescission package could be sent to the Hill within the next week; and it should rightly become known as “The Mother of All Rescissions” or MOAR!
The White House proposition to Congress would be simple.
Either pass MOAR or shutdown the government when the current CR expires on March 14th.
But for want of doubt, POTUS would also need to make clear that any and all CRs approved prior to positive action on MOAR will be vetoed and sent back to Capitol Hill, accompanied by a strong denunciation of the big spenders in Congress.
That is to say, come hell or high water the Federal government will stay shutdown until the $600 billion of savings are approved by both Houses and sent to the White House for presidential signature.
Moreover, to add stiffeners to backbones on Capitol Hill, a “nay” vote on MOAR would carry an expectation of being primraried in 2026 on the GOP side of the aisle; or of being targeted for an all out attack on the Dem side of the aisle among incumbents in districts/states which returned strong Trump majorities in 2024.
