田纳西州共和党人Chuck Fleischmann Rep. 告诉Newsmax,取消占联邦预算约25%的所有自由裁量开支不会平衡预算。 Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, a Tennessee Republican, told Newsmax that eliminating all discretionary spending, which makes up about 25% of the federal budget, would not balance the budget. 其余75%是强制性支出,未经年度批准自动重复。 The remaining 75% is mandatory spending that automatically recurs without annual approval.
