One of the architects of that plan for a Trump second term said as much in a video last year for the Heritage Foundation. Reissuing Schedule F is part of a roadmap, known as Project 2025, drafted for a second Trump term by scores of conservative groups and published by the Heritage Foundation. The new rules would not fully block reclassifying workers in a second Trump term. Greene said she worries for federal workers who might face the same choice in a second Trump term. The project includes a personnel database for potential hires in a second Trump administration.

The GOP has been softening its stance on Russia ever since Trump won the 2016 election following Russian hacking of his Democratic opponents. Now the GOP's ambivalence on Russia has stalled additional aid to Ukraine at a pivotal time in the war. Things are changing just not fast enough.”Those who oppose additional Ukraine aid bristle at charges that they are doing Putin's handiwork. Even before Trump, Republican voters were signaling discontent with overseas conflicts, said Douglas Kriner, a political scientist at Cornell University. Skeptics of Ukraine aid argue the war has already decimated the Russian military and that Putin won't be able to target other European countries.

Very few members of Trump's former cabinet have endorsed his 2024 re-election campaign. NBC News reached out to over 40 former cabinet members, finding just 4 publicly endorsed Trump. Other former cabinet members burned by Trump are advocating against him. Only four of Trump's former cabinet members openly endorsed his re-election run, according to NBC News. "They're not friends; they're not hanging on forever," Barbara Perry, the director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia, told NBC.

☆ Explainer: Tax cuts, balanced budget: What's not in Republican McCarthy's debt plan?
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Some House Republicans have called for balancing the budget within 10 years, but McCarthy's proposed cuts would almost certainly not hit that goal. McCarthy's plan would not repeal two tax hikes secured by Democrats in last year's Inflation Reduction Act: a 15% minimum tax on large corporations and a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks. It also does not try to make permanent the temporary individual tax cuts contained in the 2017 Republican tax-cut package that are due to expire in 2025. His former budget director, Russell Vought, called for cuts to housing, education and health programs in a proposal released earlier this year. McCarthy's plan would not repeal Obamacare, or roll back enhancements secured by Democrats in 2021 and 2022.

☆ Former OMB director: We have to start making cuts to spending

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailFormer OMB director: We have to start making cuts to spendingRussell Vought, former OMB director under former President Donald Trump, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the United States debt picture with rates headed higher, the country's interest rate expenses, and more.

WASHINGTON, March 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's budget proposal, released on Thursday, envisions a dramatic expansion of the federal safety net for children and families. Biden's fellow Democrats widely back his family-focused proposals: Tax credits, free preschool, subsidies for child care and paid family leave. Those two programs are due to balloon as the Baby Boom generation ages, with Biden's budget projecting they will account for 42% of federal spending in 2033, up from 34% today. Biden's budget proposal projects a deficit of $1.7 trillion for the current fiscal year. If revived, it would cost the government $259 billion in the next fiscal year -- equal to 4% of total federal spending.

☆ The US could be 4 months away from a potentially disastrous debt-ceiling breach, but nobody's negotiating over how to fix it
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-04 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

GOP lawmakers have refused a clean increase, but have yet to produce details on what they want in a deal. The US could breach the debt ceiling as soon as July, the CBO estimated. That's because no one seems to be ready or willing to negotiate over how to raise the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling dictates how much money the government can borrow to pay off the expenses it's already approved. For now, Biden's administration has maintained that raising the debt ceiling should be done in a bipartisan way, and without negotiations.

☆ Republicans reportedly want to cut $150 billion in 'woke' spending for things like education and healthcare in a plan engineered by Trump's old budget chief
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-27 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Those spending cuts, according to Reuters, are modeled off budget proposals from Trump's former budget chief. Some Republicans are reportedly taking inspiration from former President Donald Trump's budget chief Russell Vought. Rep. Jodey Arrington, the chair of the House Budget Committee, told Reuters that the GOP is crafting a budget that is "consistent with what's in his budget." Broadly, nondefense spending will be in the crosshairs, and Vought told Reuters that $25 billion would be cut from "woke" policies at the Department of Education. "Of course, these spending cuts will result in significant savings for the taxpayers."

Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has vowed not to allow an increase in the $31.4 trillion legal limit on federal borrowing without an agreement from President Joe Biden's Democrats in Congress to rein in federal spending. Failing to lift the debt ceiling could trigger a default on the federal government's debt that would take a heavy toll on the American and probably world economies. Vought, whose plan also calls for $150 billion in cuts, said Democratic control of the Senate makes limited austerity more politically realistic. Another Budget Committee Republican, Freedom Caucus member Ralph Norman, described in general terms a debt-ceiling playbook, backed by other conservatives, that aligned with Vought's plan. McCarthy spokesman Mark Bednar said federal spending growth was "entirely unsustainable, and House Republicans were elected to bring it to an end."

☆ A former Trump official is pitching Republicans on a cost-cutting proposal that includes getting rid of a student-loan forgiveness program for public servants
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-20 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Former Trump budget official Russell Vought is pitching a spending cut plan to Republicans as part of debt ceiling negotiations, per The Washington Post. Part of those cuts include phasing out the federal student-loan program and getting rid of Public Service Loan Forgiveness. House Republicans are in the midst of negotiations to raise the debt ceiling before the US runs out of money to pay its bills, likely some point this summer. It's unclear how big of an influence Vought's proposals will have in Republicans' final deal to raise the debt ceiling. Trump also advised the GOP to leave those programs out of negotiations, and Voight doesn't think those programs should be in the spotlight at all.
