Restore Fiscal Discipline and Stop Washington’s Waste Balance the budget, eliminate reckless government spending, and cut foreign aid that doesn’t serve American interests. Hold Washington accountable and prioritize economic policies that put taxpayers first. Let DOGE examine every bit of our federal government.
Senator Ashley Moody is working to pass the Protecting American Taxpayers Act, comprehensive anti-fraud legislation that includes 16 commonsense bills that would stop bad actors, protect taxpayer dollars and recover stolen funds. The bill would provide $240 billion in projected savings.
November 7, 2025 Reported by Mr. Paul, with amendments S. 872 To amend the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 to ensure that other transaction agreements are reported to USAspending.gov, and for other purposes.
Assessments
The promised outcome was broad federal fiscal delivery: balancing the federal budget, eliminating reckless spending, cutting non-interest-serving foreign aid, and allowing DOGE to examine the full federal government. The provided evidence shows Moody made same-term legislative efforts related to anti-fraud savings and spending transparency, but those actions did not enact a balanced budget, broad spending cuts, foreign aid reductions, or a complete DOGE review mandate. Because there was a serious but insufficient legislative effort, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
