They made it clear that they would not support any spending bills that do not include satisfactory cuts.<\/p>\n<p>With Congress set to resume on Tuesday before the August recess, these lawmakers expressed their concerns about appropriations bills that could lead to increased spending levels.<\/p>\n<p>Their letter to McCarthy stated, &#8220;We plan to vote against any appropriations bills designed to achieve the approximately $1.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-hardliners-threaten-to-derail-spending-bills\/\" title=\"House GOP hardliners may derail spending bills.\">586 trillion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cdc-misleading-public-with-outdoor-virus-transmission-figure-report\/\" title=\"CDC Misleading Public With Outdoor Virus Transmission Figure: Report\">top-line<\/a> spending level\u2014roughly equal<\/a> to the spending caps agreed to within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-have-to-de-weaponize-manchin-chides-schumer-for-hammering-republicans-after-debt-ceiling-vote\/\" title=\"\u2018We Have To De-Weaponize\u2019: Manchin Chides Schumer For Hammering Republicans After Debt Ceiling Vote\">debt ceiling deal<\/a> and representing a mere 1 percent reduction from Democrats&#8217; egregious post-COVID spending level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers emphasized their expectations for baseline appropriations to match the FY 2022 level, without relying on &#8220;rescissions to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/budget-analysts-conclude-biden-policies-will-add-4-8-trillion-to-national-debt\/\" title=\"Budget Analysts Conclude Biden Policies Will Add .8 Trillion To National Debt\">increase discretionary spending<\/a> above that top-line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They further stated, &#8220;Rescissions are useful in reducing spending and we encourage their use, but we cannot support using them to shift funding to the very bureaucrats implementing the Biden agenda at roughly current levels of spending, thereby enshrining and continuing Democrats&#8217; reckless inflationary spending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawmakers, the proposed spending levels closely align with the cap set by the debt ceiling deal, which &#8220;was supported by more Democrats than Republicans&#8221; and was opposed by the signatories.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the lawmakers urged Mr. McCarthy to withhold consideration of any appropriations measure on the House floor until the House Appropriations Committee passes all 12 annual appropriations bills.
