Topic: House GOP need to cut spending
For the past two years, inflation has ravaged the economy and destroyed the standard of living for many everyday Americans. Out of control government spending is a major factor of inflation and one the latest congress is now trying to address. Last Thursday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the country had reached its debt limit. Now, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is planning to meet with President Joe Biden to discuss the debt ceiling. No unified plan has been approved yet, but many conservatives are working off of “Cut, Cap, and Balance” – a spending plan that was championed by conservatives during the debt ceiling fight of 2011.
