A rescission is the President telling Congress, "We don't need to waste this money - let's give it back to the taxpayer."
How it works:
- The White House sends a formal rescission request to Congress
- That money gets put on hold for 45 days
- If Congress approves, the funds are reclaimed and removed from the budget
This is about accountability - clawing back unneeded dollars that would otherwise get lost in the swamp.
President Trump's new rescission package is the boldest we've seen in decades:
✔️ Reclaims billions in leftover COVID funds
✔️ Targets waste, fraud, and bureaucratic bloat
✔️ Signals a return to fiscal sanity
This is smart budgeting, taxpayer respect, and common sense leadership. We're restoring integrity to the way your money is handled.
