Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives say any increase in the United States' $31.4 trillion debt ceiling should be paired with spending cuts, but so far are not unified on any specific demands.
Republicans have traditionally supported robust military spending, and some House lawmakers including Kay Granger and Tom Cole, the heads of the powerful Appropriations and Rules committees, have said that defense cuts should be off the table. That would leave another 11% of the federal budget off limits.
These cuts would not apply to benefit programs, like federal workers' pensions and unemployment insurance.Chip Roy, a leader of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, has called for keeping defense spending at current levels and cutting non-defense spending to $661 billion, the level in place in the 2019 fiscal year.HOLD SPENDING IN LINE WITH INFLATION
