GOP bill takes aim at Congress' 'no rules apply' emergency spending

Republican Congressman Marlin Stutzman is pushing a new bill to rein in what he calls Congress' unchecked emergency spending habits—arguing that loose rules around crisis funding are worsening the national debt. The proposal aims to impose stricter oversight on how and when emergency funds can be approved.
Editor’s Note: Emergency spending has long been a backdoor for Congress to fund projects without the usual scrutiny, and critics say it’s a major driver of the ballooning national debt. Stutzman’s bill taps into broader frustrations about fiscal responsibility (or the lack thereof) in Washington—but whether it gains traction in a divided Congress is another story. If nothing else, it keeps the debate over reckless spending in the spotlight.
