LOUISIANA FREEDOM CAUCUS STANDS WITH THE CONGRESSIONAL FREEDOM CAUCUS IN OPPOSING THE BIDEN/McCARTHY DEBT LIMIT “DEAL”
BATON ROUGE—The Louisiana Freedom Caucus offered the following statement in support of the Congressional House Freedom Caucus and its stand against the Debt Limit “deal” cooked up by President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
"The only way to grow America is to shrink the government in Washington, D.C. The House Freedom Caucus previously passed a plan that would cut $2 trillion in federal spending, called the Limit, Save, Grow plan, which erased government bloat including the $80 billion IRS expansion hiring 87,000 new agents, bailing out student loans and the Biden COVID and “climate change” dole-outs to their leftist big donors. It was a solid bill that would take our country back to the pre-COVID spending levels in our annual budget."
Now, Speaker McCarthy and President Biden have agreed to a backroom deal that is an absolute failure, not only on the goals that the House passed unanimously a few short months ago, but it gives the Biden administration a time limit of 18 months to spend with no set limit on the credit card at all. Passing a deal like this puts America last, extending the Biden inflation-causing spending spree. It should be roundly rejected."
