Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has released the 2026 edition of its 'Prime Cuts' report, a document that provides a comprehensive list of recommendations intended to reduce the United States national debt. The organization argues that federal spending has reached levels that threaten the country's long-term economic stability, characterizing the debt as a significant risk to the nation's future.

The report contains hundreds of specific proposals aimed at eliminating what the group identifies as wasteful federal spending. While the organization frames these cuts as necessary fiscal discipline, the report does not address the potential impact of these reductions on specific government programs or the social safety net. The document serves as a policy roadmap for lawmakers interested in fiscal consolidation, though it does not account for the political challenges inherent in implementing such widespread spending reductions. The report highlights the group's ongoing mission to advocate for smaller government and increased accountability in federal budgeting processes.
