Honoring Our Commitment to Cut Spending
Most Americans agree that Washington has a spending problem. We are suffering from high inflation that is increasing the cost of housing, gas, groceries,and utilities; and severely decreasing our purchasing power. Meanwhile, the elitesin Washington want to continue the status-quo.
My colleagues and I in the Freedom Caucus held a press conference to addressour efforts to cut wasteful federal spending, appropriately fund the government, implement conservative Republican policies, and avoid a government shutdown.We are calling on Speaker McCarthy to honor the commitments he made to become Speaker in January, including cutting our non-defense discretionary spending to pre-COVID levels, as we voted to do in April with the Limit, Save, Grow Act. We must pass the remaining 11 of our 12 annual appropriations bills, that also implement the policies we ran on, and that end the woke and weaponized government that is oppressing the American people.
Speaker McCarthy has an opportunity to be a transformational Speaker who stared down the Senate, the White House, and the reckless uni-party spenders. He can reject the status-quo and pass our spending bills and send them to the Senate. If Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wants to "shut down" the government by refusing to rein in spending and make America more secure, he can own another "Schumer Shutdown."
