Episode notes
Pocket Rescission Breaks Long Pause
- The White House submitted a $5 billion pocket rescission focused on foreign aid deemed wasteful or ideologically driven.
- Eric Tietzel says this is the first pocket rescission in 50 years and could set legal precedent to cut spending.
How To Use Rescissions Under Current Law
- Use the Impoundment Control Act process to propose rescissions and withhold funds for 45 days to block spending.
- Apply pocket rescissions strategically on programs that expire within that 45-day window to ensure funds remain unspent.
NGO Pipeline Targeted By Rescission
- The rescinded USAID funds were funneled largely through NGOs and contractors rather than federal employees.
- Tietzel frames this as cutting a pipeline that channels taxpayer money to left-leaning advocacy overseas.
