Switching the fiscal year to January 1? Finally syncing government budgeting with the calendar—maybe now we can get some real transparency.

A fiscal reset in January sounds good, as long as it doesn’t mean cutting programs in the transition period—people’s needs don’t take a holiday.

Another calendar shuffle—because Washington loves making simple things complicated and expensive.

Moving the fiscal year only means more government red tape and potential for endless budget delays. Just what we needed.

Changing the budget year? Great, now watch bureaucrats spend more time on paperwork and less on cutting waste.

Fiscal years out of sync with the calendar? Weird. This bill just fixes what should have been fixed decades ago.

If the budget year starts fresh with the calendar, maybe we’ll finally see budgets that make sense to normal folks, not just wonks.

Changing the fiscal year might solve calendar chaos, or just give Congress another excuse to procrastinate.

Changing the budget clock is smart—less confusion, more focus on funding schools and healthcare instead of last-minute scraps.
