Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) underscored how the recent cuts to the federal government are needed so it can address the national debt of the United States.

The Oklahoma senator explained that residents of his state want proper elimination of waste and fraud within the government, and that a “reset” is needed to address funding that has been “abused” by universities. He added that the majority of voters don’t want their tax dollars to be wasted, which he argued has been going on for some time now, pointing to the U.S. Agency of International Development as an example.
