"We as Republicans and Democrats can still hold tightly to our beliefs, but we are going to have to let go of funding them in order to save our sinking ship," Greene said. "This is not a time for political theater and partisan attacks. The American people are watching. The legislative branch can't sit on the sidelines. In this subcommittee, we will fight the war on waste shoulder to shoulder with President Trump, Elon Musk and the DOGE team."
Greene said, "enslaving our nation in debt" is one of the "biggest betrayals against the American people's own elected government" and vowed that her subcommittee, operating under the House Oversight Committee, would work with President Donald Trump's newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is spearheaded by Musk as part of the executive branch.
