The chair of the Senate Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) caucus is leading an effort to cut what she says is significant waste in food stamp programs. 

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is debuting a new bill on Wednesday designed to tackle overpayments in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), colloquially known as 'food stamps.'

'Bureaucratic blunders are leaving billions of dollars on the table as Americans are starved to keep up with the ever-growing $36 trillion debt,' she told Fox News Digital in a statement. 

'SNAP plays an essential role in helping feed families. That’s why we need to strengthen its integrity by holding states accountable for growing error rates, implementing a zero-tolerance policy, and snapping back overpayments.'

We can hear the Leftist meltdowns starting already.

We're $36 trillion in debt which increases by $1 trillion every 100 days. 

Reform is needed.

This bill doesn't cut food stamps, it addresses administrative waste.

If we don't control spending and reduce the debt, it will collapse.

They're going to spend the next four years fear-mongering.
