John Cornyn's Senate Address on Government Efficiency and Elon Musk's Contributions

Published | Video Starts at 05:38

And while some are states are more fiscally responsible than others, state governments, as I said, are not immune from spending taxpayer money on outdated or inefficient programs.

We have the fourth lowest state taxes in the country, and we've been ranked one of the lowest spending states in terms of state spending per capita. I look forward to seeing the great work being done down in Austin by the Texas DOGE and what they can do to try to help make state government more efficient. (05:38–05:54)
