Congressman Greg Landsman, representing Ohio's 1st district since 2023, has expressed his views on current fiscal policies and the need for bipartisan cooperation through a series of tweets. His statements reflect concerns about investment strategies and the protection of core social programs.

On December 12, 2024, Congressman Landsman addressed potential motives behind financial decisions by influential figures. He stated, "It seems like Musk wants to gut investments for us to get more cash for himself. He gets billions now. Maybe that’s not true, but people will start to suspect this if the effort isn’t a bipartisan and balanced one."

In another tweet from the same day, he emphasized his desire to be involved in discussions aimed at reducing bureaucratic hurdles while safeguarding essential investments. He wrote, "I want to be in the room, so we cut red tape and not core investments—like Social Security and Medicare—that support our economy and strengthen families."

Further advocating for collaborative efforts across party lines, Landsman remarked on the importance of inclusive meetings for fiscal planning. He noted that initial discussions seemed exclusive but anticipated change: "Through a bipartisan effort, we can identify areas for cuts AND investments that must be protected. The first meeting seemed to be just for Republicans, and I bet that changes. Folks from both parties should get in a room and work on this together."
