Newsweek - Republican Richard McCormick has said the incoming government will have to "have the stomach" to make decisions regarding the funding of Social Security and other government programs. Speaking on Fox Business, the Georgia representative said some "hard decisions" about mandatory funds for certain health and social welfare programs are on the way for Congress, with both chambers set to be controlled by the GOP following the results of the November 5 election.
"We're going to have some hard decisions," McCormick said. "We have got to bring the Democrats in to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There is hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved and we know how to do it, we just have to have the stomach to actually take those challenges on."
What Trump’s FBI director pick says he wants to do to reshape the bureau
Guardian - Donald Trump’s transition team on Tuesday signed an agreement to allow the US justice department to conduct background checks on his nominees and appointees, after a weeks-long delay. The
step lets transition aides and future administration staffers of the
Republican president-elect obtain security clearances before he is
inaugurated on 20 January to access classified information about
government programs, an essential step for a smooth transition of power.
It also allows those nominees who are up for confirmation by the US
Senate to face the background checks lawmakers want before voting on
them.
