Fiscal Restraint⊙ 2When played, target opponent discards one 'gold' or 'token' card. If they cannot, reveal the top card of your deck: if it costs 3 or more, you may play it for free.

He also voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, aligning with the governing pragmatist wing of his party against Freedom Caucus hardliners.
