This is the third volume of Lankford’s report entitled “Federal Fumbles: 100 ways the government dropped the ball.” The first report identified $105 billion in wasteful federal spending and about $800 billion in negative regulatory impact to the economy, and the second report listed $247 billion in wasteful spending and regulations. This year’s report will identify new examples of waste, inefficiency, and duplication in government, along with solutions to resolve each fumble. “Every American should have access to how their tax dollars are spent,” said Lankford. “I hope every member of Congress, the Administration, and staff will utilize Federal Fumbles as they consider budget requests, hold hearings, and discuss reform legislation. In the first 11 months of the new Administration, we’ve worked to roll back wasteful spending and a number of harmful and burdensome regulations from previous Federal Fumbles reports. There is a lot of work to still be done. Our $20 trillion national debt will continue to grow until we stop it with spending cuts, government reforms, and a growing economy. Federal Fumbles volume three is my to-do list for 2018.” WHAT: Senator Lankford Press Conference to Release Federal Fumbles: 100 ways the government dropped the ball WHEN: Monday, November 27, 11:00am ET (10:00am CT) WHERE: Senate Radio-Television Gallery Studio, S-325, United States Capitol, Washington, DC VIDEO: The press conference will be livestreamed on Lankford’s YouTube page HERE and Facebook page HERE Reporters who would like to cover the report release should contact DJ Jordan or Aly Beley via phone (202-224-5754) or DJ@Lankford.senate.gov or Aly_Beley@Lankford.senate.gov. ### Print Email Tweet Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
