The hardline U.S. House Freedom Caucus responded to President Joe Biden's $6.8 trillion budget proposal on Friday, with a list of demands including a near freeze on discretionary spending and an end to multiple programs, in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.

Dubbed "Shrink Washington, Grow America," the plan also calls for ending Biden's student loan forgiveness program, rescinding unspent COVID-19 relief funding and recouping $80 billion allocated by Congress last year for the Internal Revenue Service.

The House Freedom Caucus, whose members forced House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to endure 15 floor votes before being elected to his top post, is among a number of congressional groups hoping to influence the budget that Arrington's panel is due to produce in coming weeks. "To president Biden: your budget is dead on arrival," said Representative Byron Donalds, a House Freedom Caucus member.

Maybe start eliminating useless government employment positions? Reverse course on outrageous hiring and the weaponizing of the IRS? Maybe, quit giving all of our monies to foreign interests? DO NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING, YOU COWARDS.

Way to go hardliners!!! Finally some cajones…

Just pay the interest and keep the faith of the US government. You pull this stunt every time. NEVER when your own budget reaches the stars, and is out of sight high.! These are neocon debts from sponsored wars! Plus tax decreases for corps and wealthy!

The GOP plan, in a nutshell, is to retain tax cuts for the wealthy, defund the IRS so tax cheats can cheat, gouge students arlready being gouged, and slash “discretionary” spending, i.e., all kinds of things average Americans depend upon.

Republicans have used the same tactics for as long as I can remember. They holler, pose and posture, ...but Never cut spending. So our debt continues to rise. 'There's not a dimes worth of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats'.

These are the people willing to crash our economy in order to try to make Biden look bad. It is ordinary Americans who would suffer if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. They voted to raise the debt ceiling 3 times during Trump’s single term in office…but *now* they’re concerned?!
