Conservatives: What spending cuts do the Freedom Caucus members want?

[Oddball]

Communism does not prove that socialism does not work. It proves that a dictatorship is an inappropriate government for a command economy.

Neither party wants to rein in spending.

1. Eliminate the Department of Education. Since its inception America has gone from 1st down to 24th in education. It's tilted the infrastructure so that thousands of superintendents make hundreds of thousands for delivering below par results
2. Fire Every 3 and 4 star general (Unless they are extra terrestrials) and reveal the true extent of the Space Program and all research on propulsions systems and Zero Point Energy
3. Cancel the Inflation Reduction Act
4. Give every Illegal a One way ticket to the foreign nation of their choice
5. Enact Zero based budgeting in every Federal Department. We have departments, offices and agencies that serve no useful purpose

1). Agree, eliminate the DOE, let States do their own thing. If Mississippi, WV, Kentucky, Alaska.....etc ..... want LOWER standards, DUH, then fine.

Government STILL needs to fund the STATES as they do now, we just don't need Betsy DeVos (or whoever) telling ALL States what to do and paying 1,000's of GOV employees in Education when the individual States can handle it just fine..

The Federal funding has created a gigantic nightmare of school superintendents making $250,000 while kids are taught "math is racist"

Thanks to the Federal Department of Education students have gone from 1st in the world to 24th, DUH

So what part of my post that agreed, Eliminate the Department of Education, was confusing to you.

What spending cuts are the 19 members of the House Freedom Caucus wanting from Speaker Johnson and the GOP? Perhaps some of the cuts they want are reasonable and justifiable, but I don't know what these folks are all about.




WASHINGTON – House lawmakers abruptly went home a day early partially due to a familiar sight for the House Republican conference: a rebellion from the lower chamber’s most conservative lawmakers.

The quick departure came just one day after passing a short-term stopgap measure to avert a government shutdown.

Some 19 Republicans, mostly comprised of members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, tanked a procedural vote Wednesday morning. The procedural vote – referred to as a rule vote – has traditionally passed along party lines regardless of any member’s support or opposition to the bill’s rule.

House conservatives, however, have broken that precedent multiple times this year, illustrating how unwieldy the deeply divided GOP majority is for newly installed House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

Hard-right lawmakers shot down the rule vote this time around partly out of retaliation for Johnson’s funding plan – referred to as a continuing resolution – that cleared the House Tuesday. Those members have clamored for past months that any funding legislation include deep spending cuts, but Johnson’s bill was considered “clean” for retaining government funding at current levels.

Among their other grievances was opposition to a slate of amendments on one of the 12 appropriations bills needed to fund the government long-term.

“There’s certainly a concern with the bill itself in addition to concern relative to what happened with the (continuing resolution) yesterday,” said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., a member of the Freedom Caucus who voted against the rule.

Chair of the Freedom Caucus, Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., contended that he and his conservative colleagues killed the rule vote out of “good faith” in pursuit of conservative policy wins.

If im not mistaken, they have called for something like a 3% cut in every single spending category. No favorites. Welfare, military, discretional funds, etc. all take a 3% cut.
