Oklahoma GOP Senator James Lankford released the seventh volume of his 'Federal Fumbles' report series taking aim at wasteful spending projects using taxpayer money.
House Budget Committee Member Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, says the Biden administration is throwing out ‘crumbs’ like the Willow oil drilling project after other ‘failed policies.’released the seventh volume of his"Federal Fumbles" series blasting needless government spending amid the federal government’s debt ceiling negotiations.
The Oklahoma senator said the annual report"is a focus on where are we’re wasting American taxpayer dollars and where is the federal government overregulating so that they are literally fumbling the ball." With the national debt at $31 trillion, Lankford told Fox News Digital that"right now, the Biden administration is saying, ‘Hey, we don't want to negotiate on the debt ceiling. Everything's fine. In fact, we want to increase spending.’"
"We put in a $4 million wine walking trail in Napa Valley, California, with federal dollars," Lankford continued."That is one of the wealthiest communities in the world. Why are the people of Oklahoma helping pay for a wine trail in Napa Valley, California? We put the new fire alarm system into the Metropolitan Opera, which I'm not sure why, again, the people of Oklahoma should be paying for the fire alarm system in the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
"For instance, we did an award for a grant and study the secret language that butchers use in Paris, France, in the 13th century," Lankford said."Okay, fine. If somebody wants to study butcher language in France in the 13th century, that's fine. Why am I paying for that study in the federal tax dollars?"
"It's not going to solve everything. We're way out of balance," Lankford said."There's no way you can have a vote that solves everything, but you can change the trajectory."
