Rep. Russ Fulcher, a U.S. Congressman representing Idaho's 1st district, has recently expressed his views on economic and fiscal policies through a series of tweets. These posts provide insights into his legislative initiatives and stance on government spending.

On January 28, 2025, Rep. Fulcher highlighted the importance of allowing individuals to retain more of their earnings, asserting that this would result in increased economic activity. He shared his participation in Newsmax's National Report to discuss the "KEEP Act," which aims to eliminate federal income tax on overtime pay. "When you let folks keep more of their hard-earned money, they will almost always put that money back into the economy."

The following day, January 29, 2025, he commented on President Trump's decision to pause federal grants as a measure to ensure responsible use of taxpayer dollars amidst a $36 trillion national debt. Rep. Fulcher emphasized the need for transparency regarding government expenditures: "The pause on federal grants—which does not impact individual assistance—is a decisive move by President Trump to ensure our government is being good stewards of taxpayer dollars."

Later that day, Rep. Fulcher tweeted about an unspecified achievement for Idahoans with patriotic enthusiasm: "A WIN for Idahoans! "
