The Trump administration, he said, is “spending a bunch of money on stuff we’re not supposed to.”
President Donald Trump’s interim chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, founding member of the Freedom Caucus and former deficit hawk, defended the Trump administration’s excessive spending bills and $1.5 trillion tax cut in an interview with The Atlantic Thursday.
“It sounds like my friend Mick Mulvaney is not winning on some of the fiscal issues down at the White House,” said Meadows. Increasing the debt ceiling is necessary to pay back the debts the U.S. owes, but while in Congress, Mulvaney and the Freedom Caucus often held the debt ceiling hostage in exchange for spending-reform legislation.
