The resolution would provide $200 billion in new funding for military, defense, and border security, as well as $486.3 billion in spending cuts that would result in $286 billion in deficit reduction over 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution comes as House Republican leadership is stalled on how to proceed with reconciliation, with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and top leaders pushing for a one-bill approach. The Freedom Caucus has argued a two-bill approach allows the conference to put wins up on the board and then take a serious look at tax cuts, which expire at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The caucus said the resolution is &ldquo;in-line&rdquo; with the two-step resolution plan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3314278\/graham-plows-ahead-budget-blueprint-mike-johnson-objections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">put forward by Sen.

Then, the planned markup for a budget resolution last week was canceled.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson told reporters on Friday that they hoped to iron out details over the weekend, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3313574\/netanyahu-stood-up-speaker-mike-johnson-capitol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">shooting for Tuesday<\/a> as a budget reconciliation markup. But that, too, is looking to be a lofty goal, especially if Republicans are looking to stick to an ambitious deadline to pass a resolution through the House and Senate by Feb. 24.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the retreat, the Freedom Caucus released its &ldquo;218 Plan&rdquo; for reconciliation, which it believed would get 218 Republican votes to pass the House chamber. Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC) have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3311410\/house-gop-stuck-reconciliation-debt-hawks-demand-more-cuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">argued<\/a> the topline for reconciliation should be between $2 and $2.5 trillion.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) aimed to find at least $1 trillion in cuts. Scalise has warned they should not overshoot the topline because the process requires members to hit at least the number on the resolution for it to stay valid.<\/p>\n<p>The Freedom Caucus&rsquo;s resolution also calls for raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.
