President Joe Biden continues to push back on the House Freedom Caucus's response to his federal budget proposal for the new fiscal year.
The president has ramped up attacks against the conservative congressional group in recent weeks, and on Monday, the White House released a statement accusing the Freedom Caucus's response to Biden's proposal of being a"five-alarm fire.
In particular, Monday's statement from the White House said the Republican plan will"make our border less secure," cut funding for police and"make communities less safe," further deregulate the rail industry, and"jeopardize air safety and increase airport security wait times." "The extreme MAGA Republican House Freedom Caucus proposal will be a five-alarm fire for families — including by endangering public safety," the statement concludes."While the President’s Budget proposes smart investments to improve public safety, strengthen border security, and improve the safety of our transportation networks, extreme MAGA Republicans are pushing draconian cuts to these critical national priorities that would endanger Americans’ safety.
The Freedom Caucus responded to Biden's own $6.8 trillion budget request last week, and White House officials said the administration is planning a media blitz opposing the conservative lawmakers' proposal, beyond Monday's press release.That strategy includes highlighting how the GOP plan will cut manufacturing incentives, cut defense spending, and raise healthcare costs for seniors over the next week and beyond.
