CBO says it can't estimate savings from Rand Paul's 'Bonuses for Cost‑Cutters' bill
Sen. Rand Paul's proposal would pay federal workers for identifying waste to help reduce the national debt, but nonpartisan scorekeepers say potential savings can't be quantified.
Sen. Rand Paul has introduced the Bonuses for Cost‑Cutters Act, which would award federal employees bonuses for identifying government waste as a way to address the national debt. Congressional scorekeepers, including the Congressional Budget Office, say they have no basis for estimating how much the measure would save.
