The midstate Congressman made no mention in a Carlisle Rotary Club appearance of former President Trump's indictment or lingering investigations pertaining to the 2020. Some outside protesters, however, reminded him.
Perry talked about the Speakership election, and the coming battle over the federal debt ceiling.CARLISLE - U.S. Rep. Scott Perry used an appearance before the Carlisle Rotary Club Thursday to explain the House Freedom Caucus’s effort to use looming Congressional action on the national debt ceiling to make a play for what it considers better budgeting in Washington.
Perry wants Biden to drop his proposal for partial forgiveness of student debt. “That’s $400 to $600 billion that we don’t have to increase the debt ceiling for,” Perry said. Other conditions in the Freedom Caucus plan that weren’t touched on by Perry Thursday include rollbacks to some of the climate change programs the Biden Administration pushed through Congress in the Inflation Reduction Act last year, and reductions in new staff spending at the Internal Revenue Service.
A prohibition on log-rolling, in which an unrelated measure that might be controversial is lashed onto a needed piece of legislation because most lawmakers will feel they can’t vote no on the underlying bill.
