WASHINGTON, D.C. – On June 14, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) helped unveil the Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) FY 2024 budget proposal, which balances the federal budget in just seven years, slashes $16.3 trillion in wasteful government spending over ten years, and cuts $5.1 trillion in taxes.

The RSC budget also includes two pieces of legislation originally introduced by Feenstra:

1. The COST Act, which would direct the Government Accountability Office and Secretary of Energy to compare the financial and environmental costs between replacing the entire federal gasoline-powered fleet with either electric vehicles or E-85 capable flex-fuel cars and trucks.

2. Sarah’s Law, which would detain, punish, and deport violent illegal immigrants who harm or kill American citizens.

“The American people elected a Republican majority in the House of Representatives to stop President Biden’s destructive policies, end wasteful government spending, promote American energy production, secure our open border, and restore fiscal responsibility in the halls of Congress. In stark contrast to President Biden’s nearly $7-trillion budget, the Republican Study Committee’s budget achieves these conservative priorities, balances in just seven years, and slashes $16.3 trillion in wasteful government spending over ten years,” said Rep. Feenstra. “I’m also proud that the RSC budget includes two of my bills, the COST Act, which would prevent Biden’s forced transition to electric vehicles on our families, and Sarah’s Law, which would detain, punish, and deport violent illegal immigrants who kill or harm American citizens. As a fiscal conservative, I strongly support this Republican policy blueprint that will balance the federal budget, reduce our $32-trillion debt, and build a stronger economy for our families, farmers, and main street businesses.”
