DOGE Caucus Co-Chairs Announce Congressional Platform to Cut Government Spending

WASHINGTON­- Co-chairs of the Congressional DOGE Caucus, Congressmen Blake Moore (UT-01), Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04), Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-17), and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed the Congressional DOGE Caucus Platform to showcase the Caucus's commitment to the American people during the 119th Congress. This pro-American agenda reflects eight principles as a game plan to make America efficient again through cutting government waste, fraud, and abuse.

"The DOGE Caucus has wasted no time organizing our members and crafting a clear vision for what we hope to achieve, and these principles underscore how we plan to get there," said Congressman Moore. "The time is now to rein in wasteful federal spending, streamline our bureaucracy, and make Washington work better for Americans."

"We've articulated our vision in a transparent manner that is both concise and consumable for every American," said Congressman Bean. "Our national debt has surpassed a staggering $36 trillion, and the stakes of inaction are too high. Our Congressional DOGE Caucus Platform is a common-sense roadmap that will undo the devasting damage of Crazy Town's reckless spending addiction and Make America Efficient Again. At this critical moment in our nation's history, I look forward to delivering institutional change to better serve the American public."

"For far too long, hardworking American taxpayers have seen their money squandered due to bureaucratic inefficiencies and government mismanagement," said Congressman Sessions. "The mandate is clear: every dollar spent in Washington must deliver a direct benefit to the people it serves, while prioritizing transparency, accountability, and efficiency. My colleagues in the Congressional DOGE Caucus and I are committed to turning the ideas outlined in the Caucus Platform into effective action for every American."

Read the Congressional DOGE Caucus Platform below:

The federal government must be downsized. It is too large, costly, controlling, ineffective, inefficient, and unaccountable. Therefore, we the undersigned members of the Congressional DOGE Caucus believe:

  • The federal government must serve the interests of taxpayers, and taxpayers are best served by a lean, efficient, transparent, and accountable bureaucracy.
  • No amount of waste, fraud, abuse, duplication, or administrative bloat is too small or too large to fix.
  • The national debt is a threat to our nation's economic strength. Members of the Congressional DOGE caucus are dedicated to finding ways to cut spending, not increase it.
  • There are too many federal agencies, programs, rules, and regulations that hinder economic growth for the future.
  • Government agencies, programs, rules, regulations, and employees must demonstrate effectiveness for and responsiveness to taxpayers while also not creating unnecessary costs or burdens.
  • Existing federal agencies, programs, rules, regulations, or functions that do not provide value to taxpayers must be reformed or eliminated.
  • All rules and regulations should be grounded in statute. Congress enacts public policy, not unelected bureaucrats.
  • Engaging with the American people is necessary to ensure our success.
