House Freedom Caucus Issues Demands in Return for Continued Spending

Athena Thorne : Aug 22, 2023   Pjmedia.com

"May the Freedom Caucus have the strength and courage to hold the line through the ugly political season ahead." –Athena Thorne

[PJ Media] – The House Freedom Caucus (HFC) issued a list of demands on Monday, which it characterized as requirements for it to support a continuing resolution. The stopgap spending agreements have become an annual spectacle in Congress, as appropriated funds run out at the end of the fiscal year (Sept. 30) before new appropriations have been determined. The alternative is a government "shutdown," which Democrats in office and the media manipulate into bad press for fiscally responsible, disobedient Republicans. (Screengrab Image)

Politico reports that both Democrat and Republican Congressional leaders have previously admitted the need for a continuing resolution. Politico called the list of demands a "not unexpected" "headache" for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). But the outlet also acknowledged that the Republican leader is already on board with at least some of the agenda: "McCarthy has repeatedly vowed that he won't take up an 'omnibus' spending package — when all 12 spending bills are rolled into one mammoth piece of legislation." So, there's a glimmer of hope for a semblance of fiscal restraint, anyway …

The HFC then went on to list its demands in return for agreeing to pass appropriations bills:

We will oppose any spending measure that fails to…

  1. Include the House-passed "Secure the Border Act of 2023" to cease the unchecked flow of illegal migrants, combat the evils of human trafficking, and stop the flood of dangerous fentanyl into our communities;
  2. Address the unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department and FBI to focus them on prosecuting real criminals instead of conducting political witch hunts and targeting law-abiding citizens; and
  3. End the Left's cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon undermining our military's core warfighting mission...Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
