House Freedom Caucus members and"Breakfast Club" senators held a rare joint news conference, chomping at the bit to start budget and debt limit work with President Joe Biden, with the deadline to raise the nation’s borrowing limit looming.
The White House called the House Freedom Caucus’s budget proposal a"five-alarm fire," arguing that its spending cuts would endanger the safety of the public. The Biden administration claims the proposal endangers public safety, raises costs for families, weakens national security, and hurts seniors. Democrats are also utilizing Congressional Budget Office analysis to argue that the Republican push for a balanced budget would impose devastating cuts to important federal programs.
Lawmakers still have a couple months to work out a deal. The Congressional Budget Office estimates they have between June and September to find a resolution before the nation defaults on its bills.
