Freedom Caucus Opposes Trump’s Budget Deal

“The House Freedom Caucus took an official position Tuesday not to back President Trump’s spending deal and agreement to lift the debt ceiling, citing concerns with its impact on the national debt,” The Hill reports.

Politico: “The band of roughly 30 hard-liners, which includes some of President Donald Trump’s top allies on Capitol Hill, cited fiscal concerns in a statement opposing the agreement. The deal would lift stiff budget caps and raise the debt ceiling for two years, raising federal spending by a total of $320 billion without being fully offset.”
