Washington, D.C. (June 12, 2025) | Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) issued the following statement after passage of H.R. 4: Recissions Act of 2025 in the U.S. House of Representatives:
“This week, my colleagues and I passed the first of possibly several rescission bills, which eliminate wasteful government spending. This level of reckless and wasteful spending has been going on for years behind the backs of the American people and Congress. Fortunately, the Trump administration is shining light on the waste of taxpayer dollars, and Congress is now acting to make these cuts permanent.
“President Trump and congressional Republicans are clear that we are committed to putting America first and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal government. This vote marks a critical step toward restoring fiscal responsibility and refocusing our government on policies that serve the American people, not political agendas. I will continue working alongside my colleagues and President Trump to ensure that every dollar spent reflects the values and priorities of the voters who demanded a change.”
Funds to be rescinded include:
– $833K for trans sex workers in Nepal
– $1.2 million for LGBTQI+ programs in Uganda and the Western Balkans
-$3 million for Iraqi Sesame Street
– $500 million for Left-wing news agencies
– $2.5 million to teach kids eco-friendly reproductive health
– $500K for electric buses in Rwanda
– $6 million for “net zero cities” in Mexico
– $1 million to promote voter ID in Haiti
– $5.1 million to strengthen the global queer movement
