WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement in response to the passage of the Rescissions Act of 2025, President Trump’s spending cuts package.

“Passing this legislation is a long-overdue course correction. Wisconsin families are sick and tired of seeing their hard-earned tax dollars funneled into radical pet projects overseas and politically biased media here at home. With the passage of the Rescissions Act of 2025, we aren’t just cutting spending—we are codifying the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) findings into law.

“This bill locks in $9.4 billion in real savings and marks a monumental step toward restoring fiscal sanity, putting America First, and delivering on President Trump’s promise to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. House Republicans are committed to ending the era of bloated, woke government.

“I’m optimistic this is the first of many rescissions packages to come this Congress, and I look forward to continuing to support this consequential effort.”

    Another acknowledgment from Fitzy that he is just another mindless, soulless, spineless cog in the Frumpian version of the Reich. Sieg heil, Fitzy. Sieg heil.

  3. blurondo says:

    For this mindless drivel, he gets $174,000 a year.

    So many untruths here.

    First of all, the Congressional Budget Office says that this bill will not reduce the deficit, but blow it up.

    Second, it takes from the poor and gives to the rich–like your donors. Nursing homes, rural hospitals, and many disabled people rely on Medicaid. The Medicaid cuts would be devastating for them. The “waste, fraud, and abuse” comes from companies defrauding Medicaid, not “young men in their parent’s basements who are too lazy to work.” I see you have never tried to get on Medicaid–it is very hard to do.

    Please have some compassion for the disabled and people who are working at minimum wage jobs and can’t afford insurance.
