The House Freedom Caucus launched its opening salvo in the upcoming fight over raising the nation's debt ceiling Friday, as members of the conservative group said they would agree to raise the debt limit for the first time in their careers if several of President Biden's legislative accomplishments are rolled back and strict limits on government spending are implemented.
Many in the Freedom Caucus, which numbers over 40 members, were among the detractors who sought concessions from Rep. Kevin McCarthy before agreeing to support his— and others ultimately voted"present" rather than support him. The Republican majority in the House is a slim one, just 9 votes. Without the Freedom Caucus' support, McCarthy risks a rebellion from his right flank.
In the near term, the caucus members want to pull back money already appropriated by the Democratic-led Congress during the first two years of Mr.

The government has no money. They are bankrupt. Maybe they should stop spending.
Nah.
They can get bent.
Turn a blind eye on climate change, defund the IRS, gouge students so deeply in debt they’ll never get out, and retain all of the tax cuts for the wealthy. The true face of the GOP.
It is going to be a long 22 months.
Screw that. Biden won’t and shouldn’t budge. If the GOP wants to tank the world economy it’s on them, they own it.
Blood out of a turnip. Get ready. You are protecting the predatory lenders and not borrowers who are struggling to live.
Biden should tell these zealots to 'GFY' and dare them to damage the country's credit.
