It’s Sunshine Week: Ernst Shines a Light on Biden Hiding Billions of Dollars in Secret Spending

Press Release

“We all know there is wasteful spending everywhere you look in Washington, but Biden wants to keep you in the dark, because we can’t stop what we can’t see. Thanks to USAspending, for example, I learned EcoHealth—the shady organization that shipped more than one million taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute for dangerous experiments on bat coronaviruses—just received more dollars from the Department of Defense to conduct research on “high-risk pathogens. You better believe this is on my hit list to target for taxpayer savings! USAspending is taxpayers’ most valuable tool for spotting and then stopping Washington waste, and that’s why we can’t allow Biden to get away with hiding how he’s spending your hard-earned tax dollars.

It’s disappointing delivering such a dim report, especially during Sunshine Week. I know sunlight is the best disinfectant, because I’ve stopped billions of dollars of wasteful spending by shining a bright light on it. We defunded China’s notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology, ended subsidies to institutions in Russia, and forced SBA to recollect billions of dollars of delinquent small business loans. Biden and his bureaucrats may try to keep Americans in the dark, but when he does, taxpayers in Iowa and across the country can count on me to bring it to light and make ‘em squeal.”
