Senator Roger Marshall, a member of the Homeland Security and Budget Committees, recently expressed his views on the possibility of a government shutdown looming as the deadline approaches. Marshall highlighted the potential for a continuing resolution that could result in a 1 percent cut in discretionary spending, amounting to approximately $100 billion in savings for the fiscal year.
Regarding foreign aid, Marshall emphasized his stance against providing additional funding to Ukraine until border security is addressed as a top priority. He criticized the allocation of previous aid, pointing out that a significant portion had been used to build new weapons for U.S. forces rather than directly benefiting Ukraine.
