Senator Joni Ernst offers more than 2 billions of dollars of federal cups when closing

First on Fox: A Senate republican has a list of more than one “dollars of dollars of ripe ideas for a cup” while the closure of the federal government continues.

The Director of Management of Management and Budget Russ Vought has so far announced its intention to retain nearly $ 30 billion in federal funding in Blue States and Cities, while Senate Democrats continue to block the efforts of the Republicans to reopen the government.

And Senator Joni Ernst, R -Iwa, has some ideas for even deeper cuts. In a letter to Vought, obtained for the first time by Fox News Digital, Ernst presented a plan that could lead to more than 2 billions of dollars from federal expenses.

His letter comes as head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., and most of the Senate Democrats have remained firm in their opposition to the short -term financing extension of the GOP.

“The closure of Schumer has provided a gold opportunity to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in Washington,” Ernst said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “There is no one more appropriate to carry out the accusation that Russ Vought.”

“I have compiled a complete list of more than 2 billions of dollars in non-essential public spending which should be placed on the cup block to place taxpayers first, make cries and deliver a more effective government,” she continued.

“This is by no means an exhaustive list, and I will soon provide many more recommendations,” wrote Ernst in the letter. “My team and I are ready to help you make first -rate cuts during this Schumer stop.”

Meanwhile, there did not seem to be a ramp out of ramp to end the closure of the three -day government.

The Democrats of the Senate are also imperturbable by Vought and the desire of President Donald Trump to target their states and their cities with cuts, many arguing that the administration already realized these tactics.

However, the Senate Republicans hope that enough Democrats take off and vote to reopen the government. Until now, three members of the democratic caucus have done so – meaning. John Fetterman, d-pa., Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., And Angus King, I-Maine.
