Washington has a spending problem. People know it and are demanding that Congress get serious about fiscal responsibility. One of the clearest, most immediate opportunities is passing the White House’s recently proposed rescissions package that will roll back billions in unused, unobligated funds sitting in agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development.

One million dollars for voter ID in Haiti, $889,000 for electoral reforms and voter education in Kenya, $567,000 for LGBT programs in Uganda, and don’t forget about the $33,000 for LGBT programs in the Western Balkans. These unbelievable yet real American taxpayer-funded USAID allocations are just the tip of the iceberg.
