Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) plans on introducing an amendment to the House’s continuing resolution bill that would further slash funding to the caps set in the Republican debt ceiling bill passed early this year.
As it becomes much clearer that the 31-day continuing resolution negotiated by members of the House Freedom Caucus and the Republican Main Street Caucus doesn’t have the votes necessary to pass, House Republicans have been huddling all day Tuesday trying to find a way to pass a stopgap funding measure.The current proposal cuts spending to the $1.59 trillion level set in the bipartisan debt ceiling deal signed into law by President Joe Biden in June.
This is also what House Republicans voted on earlier this year in the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which raised the debt ceiling while implementing a spending cap of $1.471 trillion for this upcoming fiscal year. The bill was never heard in the Senate. “It's the Limit, Save, Growl plus all the work that's been done by the Byron Donalds and the Dusty Johnsons of the world, Scott Perrys, I mean, they've done a lot of great work,” he continued. “We agree with that work. But policy-wise, we want to mark the defense to $886 , and we want to make sure Homeland Security is plussed up because we have a travesty at the southern border that needs to be addressed.
