Ron DeSantis Urges Republicans to Hold Federal Agencies Accountable<\/h2>\n<p>Gov.\u2063 Ron DeSantis\u200d (R-FL) is calling on\u200c Republican members of the House of Representatives to use the &#8220;power of the\u200c purse&#8221; in order \u200bto hold federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/civil-rights-groups-write-letter-to-lawmakers-pressing-for-end-to-qualified-immunity-in-police-reform-bill\/\" title=\"Civil Rights Groups Write Letter To Lawmakers Pressing For End To Qualified Immunity In Police Reform Bill\">agencies accountable<\/a>. In\u200b a recent interview on America&#8217;s Newsroom, DeSantis emphasized that the current levels \u2062of government spending are unsustainable and that action must be taken.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This government is spending way too much money. They&#8217;ve locked in the\u200d COVID-era levels of spending, which are totally\u200c unsustainable. So they\u2064 should absolutely have a big fight over righting that ship,&#8221; DeSantis stated.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis went on to discuss specific agencies, such as the Department of\u200d Homeland Security, the Department of Justice,\u2063 and the FBI, that should\u2062 be held to \u200caccount by Congress. He praised Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) for raising concerns\u2063 and urged Republicans to &#8220;discipline these agencies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But then\u200c you\u200b also have the issue of funding really \u200cbad policies. For example, Biden&#8217;s border policies are causing a massive influx of illegal aliens, fentanyl, human trafficking, and sex trafficking. The Department of Justice\u2064 and the FBI have been weaponized, targeting observant Catholics and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-says-house-should-use-power-of-the-purse-to-control-federal-agencies\/\" title=\"DeSantis urges House to wield budgetary power over federal agencies.\">parents \u2063attending school board meetings<\/a>. The power of the purse is crucial in holding these agencies accountable,&#8221; DeSantis explained.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis highlighted the importance of using the power\u200b of the purse to rein in the bureaucracy and \u200dcombat\u200c the development\u2063 of a deep state. He commended Chip Roy\u200c and \u2064other House Republicans who are sounding the alarm on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Chip Roy and his colleagues are even pushing for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas&#8217;s salary to be reduced to $1 as \u200ba demonstration of\u2064 congressional power\u2064 in response to \u200chis handling of the\u200d border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The House is set to return from its August recess next week, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-reasons-making-taxpayers-pay-off-student-loans-is-a-rotten-idea\/\" title=\"5 Reasons Making Taxpayers Pay Off Student Loans Is A Rotten Idea\">federal budget<\/a> as a top priority. Congress must pass\u200c a \u2064spending \u2063bill by the end of the month to avoid a government shutdown, but \u200dsignificant differences between the two chambers still need to be resolved.<\/p>\n<p>According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Gov.\u2063 Ron DeSantis is currently in second \u2063place\u2064 in the Republican presidential primary, trailing behind former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
