FIT Force: Taking Government Spending from Fat to Fit
The Fiscal Integrity Task Force, or "FIT Force," is a special GOP task force to identify and fight for spending reforms to "get government off Americans' backs and out of their wallets." An initiative of Leader John Boehner, the goal of FIT Force is to take government spending from fat to fit.
Co-Chairman Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (MI), Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, and Rep. Kevin Brady (TX) and, in conjunction with various Members of Congress, we will report back their findings to the Leader in the next coming weeks. 
To truly restore integrity into Congressional budgeting, taxing, and spending - and demand the federal budget be run with the rectitude of a family budget – we need your help, input, and solutions.
