Former Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) are joining the board of directors for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a prominent Washington, D.C.-based think tank focused on fiscal policy.
Maya MacGuineas, the president of the organization, said in a statement on Wednesday that the additions underscore “the committee’s longstanding commitment to fostering bipartisan solutions to our nation’s fiscal decline and working to put forward solutions for America’s elected leaders.”
“Both former senators have been staunch advocates for responsible budgeting, but more than that, they have not shied away from working across the aisle to find solutions that can bridge the ideological divide and get America pointed in the right direction.”
During their time in Congress, both Romney and Manchin, who left the Democratic Party to become an independent last year, introduced legislation aimed at establishing a fiscal commission to explore ways to tackle the nation’s debt. They were also known for splitting from their parties on legislation due to fiscal concerns.

THIS is the future. Great speech by JD Vance yesterday. 24 minutes
Romney and cohorts are so irrelevant and ignored and stale antiques from the past with less value than when originally bought.
Thanks
It really was excellent. About AI tech merging with populism for more than one purpose.
Who cares anything about Romney or even Manchin for that matter.
They have no real power...very little influence and a ton of baggage.
To give them time (I confess that’s what I’m doing now) is to perpetuate the image of their importance.
This will be my last comment on both of the above morons.
FOX NOW IN CHARGE OF HEN HOUSE.....
Foxes in charge of the hen house.
time for DOGE to do a dive on Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
This “watchdog” they work for, is it 40 pounds overweight?
Like mice, lice, and rats, they never go away.
Look at their resumes, they did so much to secure responsible federal spending in their careers!
Irony
Question …who is paying them, how much, and from what source of laundered taxpayer money?
Yessss
Both former senators have been staunch advocates for responsible budgeting, but more than that, they have not shied away from working across the aisle to find solutions that can bridge the ideological divide and get America pointed in the right direction.”
,But neither accomplished a damn thing”
FIFY
All I care about is if they are getting tax payer funds funneled to them. If so, strip it of those funds.
Katie, bar the door! Romney is the epitome of a DC deep state puke and Manchin wears whatever mask he needs to benefit himself.
It really should be a crime to call Romney a conservative, or even a Republican.
Find their funding and yank it.
