The measure, known as the clean\u200d continuing resolution, aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vivek-ramaswamy-slams-house-passed-stopgap-measure-to-fund-the-government\/\" title=\"Vivek Ramaswamy criticizes House-approved funding bill.\">maintain\u2063 current \u200cgovernment funding levels<\/a> for 45 \u200ddays, \u200cnarrowly avoiding a government\u200b shutdown \u2064that would be \u2062automatically triggered within 12 hours of the deadline.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;This\u2062 whole debate\u2063 is \u2064a farce. It&#8217;s a deflection,&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Ramaswamy expressed his frustration with the measure, stating, &#8220;Even if the government were\u200d gonna\u2064 shut down, we\u2064 know what happens every time. \u200bThey \u2063get the back pay, it comes back bigger every time. We need to stop the artificial \u200cdebate about fake government shutdowns and start \u2063having a real debate \u2014 \u2062how \u200dto \u2062achieve a true shutdown of the administrative state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ramaswamy further outlined his plans for \u2062his potential presidential administration, which includes a drastic reduction of the federal\u2064 workforce by 75%. This \u200dproposal garnered applause from the convention attendees.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;How will I handle it? 75% headcount \u200creduction, all\u2063 budgets \u2064run through the White House, no direct\u200c negotiation or proposals of \u200bbudgets,&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Ramaswamy explained his\u2063 approach, adding, &#8220;Right now, a lot of \u2063the appropriations \u2063bills come back\u200d and say &#8216;shall&#8217; spend. Well, I want to\u200c do what the\u2062 constitutional framers envisioned \u2063as actually doing, asking \u200cfor permission\u200c to\u2063 spend as U.S.\u200b president.\u200c So\u200b those are\u200d examples of the kinds of\u2063 things we&#8217;re going\u2064 to do.\u200d Zero-based \u200cbudgeting, don&#8217;t start with\u200c last year&#8217;s\u200c budget as the baseline, start with zero,\u2062 literally zero as the baseline, and then build it up for what&#8217;s actually necessary. That&#8217;s how we&#8217;re going to address \u2062a national \u200bdebt crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The \u200bHouse passed the continuing resolution\u2063 with\u200d an overwhelming majority of\u200c 335-91,\u200d surpassing the two-thirds majority threshold\u200c required for the \u2063legislation\u200b to advance on suspension. The measure will now proceed \u2064to the Senate for consideration. If approved by\u200c the Senate, it\u200b will then be presented to President Joe Biden for\u2063 the\u2062 final decision and \u200bsignature.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy&#8217;s remarks at the \u2062GOP convention followed his participation in the \u2063second Republican National Committee \u2062primary debate in Simi Valley, California, just three\u2063 days prior.<\/p>\n<p>During the debate, \u200cseveral candidates criticized Ramaswamy, including former United Nations \u2064Ambassador\u2062 Nikki Haley, who delivered\u2064 a sharp rebuke to\u200b the first-time presidential candidate, stating, &#8220;Honestly, every \u2063time I hear\u200b you, I \u2064feel a little bit dumber \u200dfor what you say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The third GOP debate\u2063 is scheduled to\u2062 take \u2062place on November 8 in \u200bMiami, \u2064Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Contributors: Cami Mondeaux and Reese Gorman<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO \u200dREAD MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are the main criticisms raised by Vivek Ramaswamy regarding\u2064 the current size and scope of the federal government?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Tic\u200b reduction in the size and scope of the\u2064 federal \u200bgovernment. He criticized\u2063 the current system,\u2063 stating,\u200c &#8220;The\u200b problem is not that the government is not working, it&#8217;s that it&#8217;s\u2062 working\u200b too well.

He argued that these measures only serve to delay the inevitable and fail to address the root issues plaguing the government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This\u200b continuous cycle of temporary funding \u200bsolutions only \u200bperpetuates a dysfunctional system,&#8221; Ramaswamy proclaimed. &#8220;We need to \u2063break free \u200dfrom this flawed approach and have a real \u200ddebate about \u200chow to \u200dachieve a true shutdown of \u2064the administrative state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/unprecedented-passport-delays-due-to-covid-19-sen-mark-warner-says\/\" title=\"Sen. Mark Warner blames COVID-19 for record passport delays.\">proposed solution involves<\/a> a drastic reduction in the size and scope of the \u200bfederal government.

According to Ramaswamy, \u2064this would not only\u200c lead to a more efficient government but also allow for greater individual liberty and economic prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of empowering states and local communities to address \u200dtheir own unique\u200c challenges.
