Curbing excessive spending is priority

As the election is coming closer, one of our greatest issues is excessive spending in our government. They should look at all of their programs to see where they can cut.
In just 3 ½ years the government spending went from 2.9% to 16%.
Here are some of the ways to curb spending and stop inflation.
Rescind the Green New Deal. It would be impossible to have enough charging stations in the country. Electric cars are great for large cities but not for rural areas.
Leave gas stoves alone.
Look at all of the money that was spent on projects that didn’t materialize: $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging stations — despite only seven stations built; $3 billion in Environmental Protection Agency “environmental justice” grants to leftist nonprofits; $27 billion for a “green bank” to finance clean energy projects; $7.5 billion boondoggle for new “affordable climate-resilient” housing projects.
Rescind payment of college loans.
Stop giving immigrants free health care, cellphones, and lodging.
Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology and other inappropriate racial, sexual; or political content on our children.
Also spent $60 million to set up regional equity assistance centers across the country to indoctrinate teachers in critical race theory and gender transition of minors.
Stop printing money.
