Ernst discusses a new role as chairman of the Senate -Doge Caucus

“If you work in the federal government and find waste anywhere, it only tells me that you are not looking for because there is waste everywhere.”

Washington, DC – just two days after President Donald Trump was sworn in when the 47 was sworn in^TH The President of the United States, the US Senator Joni Ernst (R-I), appeared on Wednesday afternoon before lunch from the Ripon Society to discuss the efforts that she leads on the Capitol Hill to discuss the excessive government spending and waste to record.

A long -time supporter of the fiscal discipline, who, before her election as a US Senate as a district auditor, acted the temporary organization of the USDOKE service, which is led by Elon Musk in the second Trump government.

“Here we have a new era under President Trump,” said Senator Ernst in her opening speeches. “We have a new chance in the efficiency of the government’s ministry, and I was really happy when President Trump had this under control. I was able to sit down with Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk before President Trump started. I met with you in Mar-A-Lago in November and presented you with a blueprint of about $ 2 trillion. This was exactly what Elon Musk said that they wanted to reach the Department of Government Efficiency. “

Ernst, who was chosen for the first time ten years ago, has illuminated its make -up Awards since her first day of the office. But her team doesn’t stop here, she said.

“If you work in the federal government and find waste anywhere, it only tells me that you are not looking for because there is waste everywhere. My team and I then look for ways of how we can correct these defects, how so, how we can combat the waste. We have a problem and propose a solution for it. … I have a legislation of 10 years that is ready to go and we can finally bring it to a department in our federal government and in our department. “

In addition to the monthly price program, she found that only six percent of the federal employees come into office every day of the week, and a matter that Trump spoke to in one of his many executive orders on his first office day.

“We will not continue to do the Covid model, where you don’t even have a single day every week. This era is gone. If we have telephoto work, we will make sure that there are standards. The American people expect better from our federal employees and I hope they will get it. “

“With the Doge Caucus we actually did Washington DC. So we will find it. If there is waste out there, we will find it. We will suggest changes and try to do these changes.

“We touch every federal government authority, every action, every reaction. We already had several meetings, as well as the house, and then we will work with the administration and Elon Musk. We will work with him hand in hand and he has very, very supported my efforts. “

In the question and answering of the discussion, the chairman Ernst asked an effort to shift some of the federal departments and agencies to areas of the country, which they serve the most.

“It does not make sense to concentrate all of these agencies here if they could do a better job if they go to the grocery store and face someone who actually deals with a problem in their department. You think a little more about what you do and what rules and regulations you write. You should be responsible for the people for whom you should work. “
