The group would aim to keep defense spending at current levels.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In addition, it called to end President Biden\u2019s student loan forgiveness program; rescind unspent COVID-19 and Inflation Reduction Act funds; enact the REINS Act, a bill that would broaden congressional input on agency regulations; and loosen domestic energy production regulations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The group also wants to restore \u201cClinton-era work requirements on welfare programs\u201d like Medicaid, and pass a preemptive continuing resolution to set non-defense discretionary spending at Fiscal Year 2019 levels in order to pressure Congress to pass <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a serious proposal. We urge our colleagues on the Republican side and the Democrat side to come along. If you don\u2019t like what we\u2019ve offered \u2013 bless you, that\u2019s fine. What have you got to offer?\u201d House Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry (R-Pa.) said in a press conference on Friday, flanked by more than a dozen other of the group\u2019s members.<\/p>\n<p>Perry added the plan largely looks at non-defense discretionary spending, and that defense spending could remain flat while other cuts could achieve getting the topline discretionary figure to fiscal year 2022 levels.<\/p>\n<p>The demands come as Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pushes President Biden for a deal on spending reductions as a condition of raising the debt ceiling. McCarthy has not laid out his own specific proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Any official budget position for the House GOP is likely to be less aggressive than the House Freedom Caucus plan, but Perry forecast optimism about agreement: \u201cWe\u2019re not assuming leadership is opposed to any of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The Freedom Caucus indicated it was open to negotiation on the measures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf somebody else on our side of the aisle or the other side of the aisle or a combination of the two wants to bring some plan together, we\u2019re certainly going to consider it, but this is where we stand,\u201d Perry said.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) alluded to the rules change concessions that many of the members extracted from McCarthy from the drawn-out Speaker\u2019s election earlier this year.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe fought to have the tools to do what we are doing today, and it\u2019s time that we stop bragging about our tools, admiring our tools, and actually get to nicks them \u2013 actually use the tools that we fought so hard for House Republicans to have in this Congress,\u201d Boebert said.<\/p>\n<p>The White House released a $6.8 trillion budget proposal on Thursday that includes tax hikes on the wealthy as a means for reducing the budget deficit. It im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely drew sharp pushback from Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis budget makes his priorities clear. His administration is at war with the American people\u2019s freedom and prosperity,\u201d said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). \u201cWe need to shrink Washington and grow America. His budget would do the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Perry also said he is in communication with \u201cnumerous senators\u201d on the spending demands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) praised the Freedom Caucus proposal after its release on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally, a glimpse of common sense in Washington. Today\u2019s proposal from the HFC marks a commitment to a return to fiscal sanity and accountability in Congress,\u201d Scott said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
