WASHINGTON, D.C.—The House’s most conservative caucus announced its “Shrink Washington, Grow America” plan on Friday as the debt ceiling debate continues in Washington.
Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, began the caucus’ press conference by discussing the Democrats’ support for a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill that President Joe Biden signed into law on Dec. 23.
“Two weeks after that, on Jan. 13, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen informed America that our debt had reached its statutory limit. The point is that this current debt crisis has been created solely by reckless Democrat policies and out-of-control spending,” Perry said.
