There's a constant review in Congress exercising its oversight of the Executive Branch of the US budget.

The Republicans question, "Do we need the Department of Education?"  So Congress holds hearings that lay bare their concerns regarding the functionality of that administrative Department--on a continuing basis.  (Incidentally, the hearings with the confrontation of Congress, representing their constituents regarding concerns about certain line items appearing in the budget are usually open, even carried on CSPAN.)

I listen to a lot of these discussions where Congress probes the budgetary items on both TV and radio on certain debatable items.   

To my mind, Congress duly does its oversight job of budget examination of the administrative arm of  federal government.  

So,  I don't buy the implied idea that we need an outside Doge Committee that virtually sweeps away the approved budget, which was constructed and in review by Congress on a daily basis through its multitudinous committees in both the House and Senate.

My opinion.
