Congressman Thaddeus McCotter introduced legislation to save at least $5,000,000,000 by consolidating some duplicative and overlapping Government programs

Least Expensive Bill of the Week

The Bill: H.R. 1782, a bill to implement the recommendations of the report of the Government Accountability Office entitled “Opportunities to Reduce Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Save Tax Dollars, and Enhance Revenue”/S. 945, a bill to save at least $5,000,000,000 by consolidating some duplicative and overlapping Government programs
Annualized Savings: -$5 billion (first-year savings)
In March of this year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report detailing duplicative government programs. The report outlined at least $100 billion in savings that would result from streamlining the programs outlined. Congressman Thaddeus McCotter (MI-11) and Senator Tom Coburn (OK) have introduced legislation to implement some of GAO’s recommendations. The bills do not specify what programs to consolidate or repeal, only that $5 billion must be saved.
