After months of urging congressional and administration negotiators to prioritize reductions in spending, conservatives now oppose the recently announced irresponsible bipartisan budget deal.
The agreement eviscerates the remaining budget caps by more than $320 billion over the next two years. It does so without any spending offsets—despite the more than $1.1 trillion in cuts proposed by the White House. It also contains a two-year suspension of the debt limit, without any restriction on how much Congress can spend.
The national debt is at a record-breaking $22 trillion. A deal of this magnitude, without any real efforts at reducing discretionary spending or managing entitlements, is the height of fiscal mismanagement.
In numerous election cycles, voters have made it clear that they do not support these types of trillion-dollar boondoggles that put Washington priorities ahead of responsible problem solving.
The House Freedom Caucus, Republican Study Committee, and leading conservatives in the Senate have all come out in opposition of this deal. We urge others to follow their lead, and call on President Trump to veto it.
