House Freedumb Caucus Says It'll 'Consider' Helping Raise Debt Limit If Each And Every One Of Its

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Demands Are Met

Congress needs to pass a budget. It also needs to lift the debt ceiling. For months, the particulars of the coming clashes were fuzzy.

Those two must-pass items are on distinct, but parallel tracks, particularly as Republicans threaten to withhold their votes to lift the debt ceiling unless President Joe Biden forks over political concessions. The White House has insisted that the issues be handled separately, while Republicans struggle to coalesce their caucus behind the basic parameters of what those demands would be.

Now, at least one group of far-right lawmakers has decided to get some cuts on the record.

Reacting to Biden’s newly-released budget plan and continued staunch criticism from Democrats, the House Freedom Caucus released a one-page list of cuts on Friday, largely to spending Congress already allotted in 2022 for 2023. To unveil it, the far-right group held a press conference that was scant on details of the plan but heavy on grievances.

1. The republicans have tried holding the country hostage...

...over paying the bills they racked up while in charge since the Obama administration.

It's a game of trying to threaten folks to do what they want and should be called out and treated as such.
