Vote For Better Roads Republicans May Cancel More Funds
Republican leaders said they aim to cancel about 3.0 billion in appropriations approved by the Democratic Congress as part of a broader drive to slice federal spending by roughly 4.5 billion. Bridges and other GOP figures argued the cuts would reduce the deficit while maintaining essential defense and domestic programs, though specific agency targets were not disclosed. The move follows prior deferrals and theTreasury’s accounting practices that shift payments across fiscal years and may affect the CCC borrowings and wartime price supports.
