Many business owners are complaining that President Donald Trump’s on-again/off-again announcements on tariffs are making it very difficult to for them to plan their budgets. But the private sector isn’t the only place where complaints about Trump’s volatility are being voiced.

In an article published on July 14, Reuters Bo Erickson describes the frustration that members of Congress are experiencing when it comes to Trump and spending decisions.

Erickson reports, “The lack of clarity follows a broader pattern in which the Trump Administration has provided less detail on how it plans to spend taxpayer dollars, drawing criticism from some Republicans in Congress…. Budget experts say this unwillingness to share a broad range of spending details skirts funding law, complicates the budget process going forward, and breaks from precedent aimed at increasing spending transparency.”

One of the lawmakers who is speaking out is Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

According to Erickson, Collins — who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee — told U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, “Delayed budgets, missing details, and omitted spend[ing] plans make the federal budget less transparent and less accountable to the people and their elected representatives.”

David F. Taylor, who served as associate OMB director under the late President George H.W. Bush, told Reuters, “At this point in the year, there has never been less reliable information available to either the public or Congress about actual agency spending than at any time since the modern budget process was established in 1974.”

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Washington State), who co-chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, shares Collins’ frustration.

Murray told Reuters, “This administration has — more than any other in my time in office — refused to share basic information with this committee.”

Similarly, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida) told Reuters, “The way this secretary, and this administration, has interacted with Congress on moving hundreds of millions of dollars from one account to the next is unprecedented.”
