In addition to his whip efforts within the House GOP conference, Majority Whip Tom Emmer is rallying up support from outside organizations surrounding House Republicans’ debt ceiling legislation, the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023. The plan – which limits federal spending, saves taxpayer money, and grows the economy – will lead to $4.8 trillion in savings.
Here is what Members of Congress are saying in response to the Limit, Save, Grow Act:
Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, and House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington: "The American people expect and deserve serious, sensible action to address our soaring national debt. Unfortunately, President Biden has avoided taking any action, even though he added $6 trillion to our nation’s debt burden in two years and caused historic inflation that continues to hurt families and small businesses. The President seems to have no interest in negotiating a responsible debt limit increase. What President Biden is demanding is irresponsible.
"President Biden’s reckless spending created record inflation, made us more dependent on China, and undermined Social Security and Medicare. We must address record spending now. If we don’t, America will be weaker and families will be worse off.
"Since President Biden continues to hide, House Republicans will take action.
"The Limit, Save, Grow Act will limit federal spending, save taxpayers trillions of dollars, grow our economy, and lift the debt limit into next year. This legislation will make us less dependent on the whims of the Chinese Communist Party and curb high inflation, all without touching Social Security or Medicare — because no one is hurt more by inflation than seniors.
"We owe it to the American people to save the economy, stand up for hardworking taxpayers, and return to a path to fiscal responsibility. President Biden has a choice: come to the table and stop playing partisan political games — or cover his ears, refuse to negotiate, and risk bumbling his way into the first default in our nation’s history."
Senators Rick Scott, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson and Mike Braun: "We congratulate the House Freedom Caucus, Speaker McCarthy, and House Republicans on their framework to fundamentally transform the way Washington works. The broken status quo in Washington has failed and put American families on the hook for more than $31 trillion in debt. The time for accountability is NOW. Inflation is crushing the middle class, Democrats are trying to outlaw the American energy grid while funding elitist, progressive policies against the interests of blue-collar America. This good bill repeals the trillions of dollars in Green New Deal credits that will put Americans out of work, places real work requirements on federal programs that encourage employment, prohibits unfair student loan giveaways, and lifts the bureaucratic stranglehold on American industry by passing the REINS Act. By comprehensively addressing the needs and wants of the American people, this framework goes further to address the tyranny flowing out of Washington than anything we’ve seen in years. It is a courageous first step toward a better and more prosperous America. There is a strong, conservative Republican Party all across America that is demanding action to put our nation back on the path to fiscal sanity."
Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14): "President Biden and Democrats led our nation down the wrong path. In two short years, they’ve recklessly added $6 trillion to our national debt and caused 40-year high inflation. As a result, families lost $7,400 worth of their hard-earned income and forced 6 out of 10 Americans to live paycheck-to-paycheck.
"But House Republicans have a plan to solve this crisis. The Limit, Save, Grow Act will limit our federal spending, save the American taxpayer money, and grow the U.S. economy – all while strengthening vital programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
"In the first 100 days of the 118th Congress, House Republicans demonstrated our commitment to the American people, delivering bipartisan results on real issues impacting our nation. We’ve ended the COVID-19 national emergency, fought to lower energy costs, and stood up for parents – all while holding this administration accountable.
"The Limit, Save, Grow Act will add to this record of achievement, solving yet another Biden crisis he refuses to play a part in ending. It’s the latest example of Republicans prioritizing the American people and putting the nation where Democrats refuse to put them – first."
Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture: "The Biden Administration’s reckless spending has caused inflation and the national debt to climb to unimaginable heights, and American families continue to feel pain from the gas pump to the grocery store. The Limit, Save, Grow Act is a sensible proposal for raising the debt ceiling, which reins in federal spending and invests taxpayer dollars more wisely. I appreciate Speaker McCarthy’s willingness to bring varying perspectives to the table and for his leadership in the face of unwarranted partisan hysteria."
Rep. Bryan Steil, Chairman of the Committee on House Administration: "We need to limit the growth of our government. We need to save taxpayer money. We need to make sure we get our fiscal house in order. The president’s path of not negotiating is dangerous. It’s reckless, and ultimately this bill will bring him to the table with the House of Representatives."
Rep. Jodey Arrington, Chairman of the House Budget Committee: "Over the last two years, the Biden Administration’s reckless spending and failed economic policies have resulted in record inflation, soaring interest rates, and an economy in a recessionary tailspin – with the prospect of a catastrophic debt crisis looming on the horizon.
"Unsurprisingly, this spending spree has sent us slamming up against the debt ceiling, which for 100 years has served as a check on our accumulating national debt and its impact on the financial health of our nation.
"Let me be clear: we will pay our creditors and protect the good faith and credit of the United States, but it would be irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling without commonsense spending controls.
"House Republicans have presented a debt ceiling proposal that will restore fiscal sanity in Washington before it’s too late.
"This plan limits federal spending by reining in and right-sizing the federal bureaucracy; saves taxpayer dollars by reversing some of the Democrats’ reckless spending; and grows the economy by returning to pro-growth, pro-work, pro-energy policies, unleashing American prosperity once again."
Rep. Virginia Foxx, Chairwoman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce: "America is $31 trillion in debt. What has President Biden done to defuse this ticking timebomb? Absolutely nothing. Instead, the President continues to double down on reckless policies, including blanket student loan bailouts, that are hurting America’s families, workers, and students.
"According to the Congressional Budget Office, the President’s student loan policies could cost nearly $500 billion over the next decade. What’s worse, the administration’s radical and illegal policies do nothing to solve the root issues of student debt or the rising cost of college.
"Biden’s inflation is cutting our legs out from under us, and the economy is faltering. Yet Biden continues to force taxpayers—including those who never stepped foot on a college campus—to spend billions on student debt cancelation. The American people need bold leadership, so House Republicans are bringing real solutions to the table.
"It’s time for action, not to tuck tail and pretend the problem will go away on its own. The American people—and the future generations who will bear the burden of America’s debt—are counting on us."
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Chairwoman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee: "To build a stronger future for all Americans, we must address the unsustainable spending and debt crisis. Today, Republicans are offering solutions to cut spending, ensure America doesn’t default on our debt, protect seniors, and lower costs for the hardworking people of this country. Our solution also ensures Medicaid is helping the most vulnerable by empowering able-bodied adults to find work and opportunities to build a better life. It’s time for President Biden and the Democrats to work with us and come to the table to find an agreement and stop their reckless spending spree that is raising people’s cost-of-living across the board."
House Committee on Small Business: "Small businesses are responsible for keeping their fiscal houses in order. So should the federal government. Chairman @RepRWilliams stands in firm support of the Limit, Save, Grow Act."
Rep. Mike Bost, Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs: "For months, Democrats have spread false claims that House Republicans would cut veterans’ benefits to get our fiscal house in order. With the introduction of the Limit, Save, Grow Act, the message could not be clearer. This commonsense bill will grow the economy and save American taxpayers money, all while protecting veterans’ benefits, Social Security, and Medicare. Republicans have always prioritized veterans in our spending to ensure veterans have access to the care, benefits, and services they have earned, and as the Chairman of this Committee, that is my number one priority. Anyone who questions our commitment to the men and women who have served should find new talking points."
Rep. Jason Smith, Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means: "Republicans are acting on the American people’s call to rein in spending and to address our fiscal crisis with policies that will not only confront the debt ceiling, but will also help lift more Americans out of poverty and restore America’s workforce to pre-pandemic levels through common sense work requirements, end an agenda of welfare for the wealthy and big corporations, and take the target off the backs of low- and middle-income taxpayers under threat from a supercharged army of IRS auditors. It’s time the President negotiate with Congress over spending reforms as part of the debt ceiling, just as we have done many times before – including when President Biden voted for such agreements as a Senator and when he negotiated them as Vice President. The President’s current position of refusing to discuss common sense spending restraints when it comes to the debt ceiling shows reckless disregard for past precedent and his own history."
Rep. Mike Johnson, Vice Chairman of House Republicans: "Our national debt is the greatest threat to our national security. If you can’t fund your military, you can’t defend your nation. The Save, Limit, Grow Act is the responsible solution to the financial crisis caused by years of Democrat’s out of control spending."
Rep. Andy Barr (KY-06): "Reckless Washington spending has caused record inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain shortages, and instability in the banking system. @HouseGOP’s Limit, Save, and Grow Act of 2023 would limit federal spending, save trillions in taxpayer dollars, and create a stronger economy."
Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (NY-04): "We're looking forward to the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023. It has the potential to put $4.5 trillion back to taxpayers and back into our economy. We've seen over the last few months, as our Speaker has said, that the president has just ignored the opportunity to sit down, negotiate, and have a conversation with our leadership. And quite frankly, they've done a great job as they try to cause havoc and create fear about defaulting, but the only ones that have been working to find a solution are the Republicans."
Rep. Ben Cline (VA-06): "@HouseGOP will NOT settle for a business-as-usual debt ceiling increase.
We must change Washington’s habits to help get us back on track:
🏛Limit the growth of gov’t
💵Save taxpayer dollars
📈Grow the economy"
Rep. Bill Johnson (OH-06): "Many Ohio families stick to a budget and live within their financial means. It’s time for the federal government to do the same.
@HouseGOP’s Limit, Save, Grow Act will:
✅Limit federal government spending
✅Save taxpayer dollars
✅Grow America’s economy"
Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04): "It's time we limit reckless federal spending, save taxpayer dollars, and grow the economy so we have a more prosperous future for this generation and ones to come."
Rep. Greg Murphy (NC-03): "We need to limit federal spending, save taxpayer dollars, and grow the economy. The @HouseGOP Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 will do just that."
Rep. John Carter (TX-31): "House Republicans are united in our view that the best way to reduce the national debt is to limit spending, save taxpayer money, & grow the economy!"
Rep. John Joyce (PA-13): "The @HouseGOP's Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 would save American families trillions of dollars over the next 10 years, and work to curb high inflation—all while protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits for seniors."
Rep. Mike Flood (NE-01): "[The Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023] will save taxpayers trillions of dollars over the next 10 years, make us less dependent on communist China, curb high inflation, all while protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits for seniors and a reasonable lift of the debt ceiling into next year. I don't think that's too much to ask when you look at the outyear projections. We're basically talking about taking spending from FY24 to FY22 levels where we were just four short months ago. That's a 1 percent annual growth over the next 10 years. I think that's reasonable."
Rep. Ryan Zinke (MT-01): "The Limit, Save, Grow Act forces able bodied Americans without dependents to enroll in at least 20 hours of work, training, or education to receive welfare. This shouldn’t be controversial."
Rep. Tom McClintock (CA-05): "In my 14 years in Congress, I have never voted to increase the debt limit because there was obviously no interest by either party in addressing the reckless spending that's causing our debt to explode. But I intend to vote for this debt limit increase because, for the first time in my Congressional career, there are serious concrete provisions to address the overspending. And that includes rescinding the trillions of dollars Biden would take from working families to give to his green energy cronies for example, rescinding the hundreds of billions of dollars of COVID funds that haven’t been spent, rolling back spending to 2022 levels, limiting future spending growth to 1 percent. How could anyone who cares about the debt not vote for this measure?"
Here is what stakeholders are saying in response to the Limit, Save, Grow Act:
Advancing American Freedom, Paul Teller, Executive Director: "Advancing American Freedom urges all House Members to vote for the Limit, Save, Grow Act. This legislation would take a strong first step in the direction of fiscal sanity and meet all of the debt-ceiling conditions outlined in the Conservative Movement’s ‘Open Letter to the 118th Congress.’ Particularly noteworthy is how the legislation includes substantial spending cuts in the first year and how the legislation includes reforms to so-called ‘entitlement’ spending, despite some loud voices to the contrary. We at AAF hope that this legislation silences President Biden’s and other Democrats’ unconscionable calls to increase the nation’s exorbitant ‘credit card’ limit without anything else in return."
America First Policy Institute, Brooke Rollins, President and CEO: "American families are increasingly worried about the toll inflation and the spirling debt are taking not just on families today, but future generations. That's why time is of the essence to coalesce around fiscally reasonable ideas proposed by the @HouseGOP to limit government spending, save taxpayer money, and grow the economy. The consequences of failure would be catastrophic."
American Commitment: "The Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 would defund the doubling of the IRS, block Biden’s student loan bailout, strengthen work requirements for the federal food stamps, reclaim unspent covid funds, and best of all…pass the REINS ACT which mandates that all economically significant regulations must be approved by Congress! Tell Congress to VOTE YES!"
American Energy Alliance: "The American Energy Alliance urges all members to support H.R. 2811 the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023. This legislation begins the process of repealing many of the expensive and distortionary energy subsidies jammed into the misleadingly named Inflation Reduction Act."
Americans for Limited Government, Rick Manning, President: "House Republicans are putting forward one of the most substantial proposals to limit the size and scope of government in the last decade with their debt ceiling and spending cut legislation as a true path back to fiscal sanity. This legislation not only limits the fiscal growth of government through discretionary spending caps, but also contains provisions that limit the growth of the administrative state, roll back regulations, rescind green subsidies and end Biden’s stranglehold on American energy production."
Americans for Prosperity, Kurt Couchman, Senior Fellow in Fiscal Policy: "Americans for Prosperity commends the House Republican Conference for making a responsible debt limit offer. This legislation would prevent default this year while reducing the risk of default in years to come. It would reduce bloated and wasteful spending, remove barriers to prosperity, and advance the conversation on the need for healthier budget practices."
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Kristen Swearingen, Vice President of Legislative and Political Affairs: "The Limit, Save, Grow Act contains commonsense policies that would help our country address the rising debt being passed on to future generations while protecting the full faith and credit of the United States. This proposal also includes key priorities for ABC members and the construction industry."
CEI, Myron Ebell, Director of the Center for Energy and Environment: "The House Republicans’ debt ceiling package includes the most welcome repeal of the farrago of green energy subsidies included in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. Repeal of these massive handouts to every special interest in the climate industrial complex will save taxpayers hundreds of billions and perhaps trillions of dollars while at the same time reducing energy costs and increasing electric reliability."
CEI, Daren Bakst, Deputy Director of the Center for Energy and Environment and Senior Fellow: "It’s great to see legislators fighting back against the left’s war on conventional energy and radical effort to limit Americans from buying gas-powered vehicles. The debt ceiling package gets rid of market-distorting handouts in the Inflation Reduction Act and includes regulatory reforms to help ensure Americans have reliable and affordable energy."
CEI, Wayne Crews, Fred L. Smith Fellow in Regulatory Studies: "The new Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 proposes to increase the debt limit, yet again, by $1.5 trillion in exchange for rolling back the likes of unspent American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act funds; nullifying student loan debt forgiveness; repealing or modifying an assortment of distortionary and counterproductive green tax credits; cancelling the new army of 87,000 IRS employees; and finally, for good measure, requiring Congress to henceforth approve major agency regulations."
CEI, Iain Murray, Senior Fellow: "It is good to see Congress exercising some self-discipline over spending as part of the debt limit extension after the excesses of the pandemic era. The reason we have a debt limit is that it is one of the few constraints on congressional excess, in particular the abuse of crises. The Senate should approve this package quickly to avoid further uncertainty unsettling the markets and the daily lives of ordinary Americans."
CEI, Ryan Young, Senior Economist: "Regulatory reforms such as the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act are an essential part of any debt ceiling deal. Otherwise, if the federal government has to spend less than it wants to, it might issue more regulations instead. One option shows up on the budget, and the other doesn’t. Without checks like REINS, Congress and agencies would have a massive incentive problem."
Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), Star Parker, President, and Marty Dannenfelser, Vice President of Government Relations and Coalitions: "Congress should stop President Biden’s reckless expansion of government that fuels inflation, undermines personal responsibility, and puts our banking system at risk. The Limit, Save, Grow Act takes important steps in the right direction and deserves your support."
Citizens for Renewing America, Russ Vought, President: "The debt limit legislation proposed by House Republicans that will save over $4.5 trillion in taxpayer dollars over ten years is an important first step towards reining in our unsustainable levels of federal spending along with the woke and weaponized bureaucracy waging war on the American people."
Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Maya MacGuineas, President: "This is a reasonable proposal, which would generate significant savings at a time when the nation desperately needs them."
Committee to Unleash Prosperity: "There’s much more to be done, but these are all popular reforms that are worth going to the mat over. We view it as ESSENTIAL that all House Repubs - including our friends in the Freedom Caucus - unify behind this plan, pass it forthwith, and then let Chuck Schumer and Biden holler, pout, and squirm. If they won’t agree to this debt ceiling extension - all the carnage they are falsely claiming about ‘defaulting on the debt’ is on them."
Conservatives for Property Rights, James Edwards, Executive Director: "The Limit, Save, Grow Act wisely imposes sound policies to balance raising the debt limit. Curbing federal spending levels. Rolling back some of the worst excesses of the mislabeled Inflation Reduction Act.’ Stopping executive misspending of federal dollars. Protecting those Americans prudent with their own finances from being forced to bail out wealthy, woke college debtors. Reclaiming unspent COVID largesse long after the pandemic subsided into endemic status. Requiring those on the dole to work. Ensuring that our vast natural resources serve our nation’s energy independence. Each of these provisions serves private property rights in its own way. The productive citizens of the United States aren’t an ATM for spendthrift politicians. The Limit, Save, Grow Act is a great first step toward limiting government and putting it on a diet."
Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, Tom Schatz, President: "Government spending has increased exponentially, wreaking havoc on inflation and causing the national debt to reach $31 trillion. The Limit, Save, Grow Act would help reduce the impact of this reckless spending spree and save taxpayers money. This legislation would return government spending to fiscal year (FY) 2022 levels, claw back unspent COVID-19 relief dollars, and rescind wasteful spending that was included in the Inflation Reduction Act. The Limit, Save, Grow Act would also reinstate work requirements to welfare programs. This provision would bring more Americans back into the workforce and help reduce poverty. H.R. 2811 also includes the text from H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, and H.R. 277, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2023, which would bring back American energy independence and reduce energy costs, and limit federal regulatory overreach."
CPAC: "Time and time again, too many republicans have waved the white flag on dealing with 'must pass' legislation to fund the government or raise the debt limit, perpetuating a failed system that has left hard-working American Families with $31 Trillion dollars of debt. We applaud the new Republican Majority for addressing the problem head on with the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 sponsored by Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (CPAC Conservative 97% Lifetime Rating)."
ForAmerica, David Bozell, President: "For too long, Congressional Republicans' lone superpower has been to do...nothing. Except spend a truckload of our money on government programs that, at best, we didn't ask for, and worse, only served to harass us. But the moment we've been waiting for has arrived: House Republicans are using their constitutionally-mandated 'Power of the Purse' once and for all. ForAmerica is encouraged by and supports House Republicans' plan to limit federal spending, save taxpayer dollars, and grow the economy - the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023."
Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), Tarren Bragdon, President and CEO: "The Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 is a bold and necessary step towards fiscal responsibility and economic growth. By limiting federal regulation, Congress can reduce inflation and increase government transparency. Additionally, work requirements will help get Americans out of dependency and back to work, preserving resources for the truly needy. There has never been a better time to get able-bodied adults back into the workforce."
FreedomWorks, Adam Brandon, President: "Americans live with the consequences of Washington’s inability to get its fiscal house in order daily as prices surge and inflation remains high. House Republicans’ common-sense approach would help ease the burden placed on hardworking American families and help return fiscal responsibility to our nation’s capital."
Heritage Action, Jessica Anderson, Executive Director: "Saving an estimated $4.5 trillion over the next 10 years, House Republicans’ debt ceiling proposal would be historic and they should be commended."
Heritage Foundation, Dr. Kevin Roberts, President: "House conservative members deserve praise for putting American families ahead of Washington special interests. Their debt limit plan is a historic proposal for dealing with our nation’s crippling debt and inflation. What Biden is asking for is nothing short of a blank check with your and every other American’s name at the bottom. Rather than spending recklessly and pushing our economy to the brink, House conservatives are showing real leadership by governing our nation responsibly."
Job Creators Network, Alfredo Ortiz, President and CEO: "The Limit, Save, Grow Act provides a smart compromise to the nation’s fiscal crisis. It puts the country on a path to fiscal solvency by limiting spending and empowering the private sector. Many of its provisions, including ending reckless spending, unleashing domestic oil, reestablishing welfare work requirements, and curtailing federal regulations, are shared by Job Creators Network’s American Small Business Prosperity Plan. The choice facing Americans is clear: We can either choose to make smart fiscal decisions now to put our economy back on track or be forced to take tough fiscal decisions later when runaway deficits trigger a financial crisis. Kudos to House Republicans for their leadership on this issue. Small businesses and ordinary Americans appreciate it."
Job Creators Network, Bernie Marcus, Co-founder and former CEO of Home Depot: "I applaud House Republicans’ bill, The Limit, Save, Grow Act, to raise the debt ceiling with responsible reforms to tackle inflation and address our out-of-control national debt. Notably, House Republican’s plan supports job creators by defunding the Biden administration’s massive expansion of the IRS and reducing regulatory burdens. The Limit, Save, Grow Act echoes the priorities of Main Street American and I urge Members to pass this legislation."
National Taxpayers Union (NTU): "National Taxpayers Union applauds Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and the House Republican leadership team for this effort to bring America’s checkbook closer to balance. NTU has supported several planks of the package in the past and will closely monitor developments on this pivotal piece of legislation. If this bill remains substantially similar to the legislative text released today, NTU would strongly support its passage and include this as a significant key vote on the annual NTU Rates Congress scorecard."
NFIB, Kevin Kuhlman, Vice President of Federal Government Relations: "On behalf of NFIB, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, I write in support for provisions of H.R. 2811, the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2022, including H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act and H.R. 23, the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act.
"H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, would help small businesses by increasing energy production, decreasing energy costs, and reducing regulatory burdens that harm economic growth. NFIB members continue to rank inflation as the top small business problem. In a recent NFIB survey, 79% of small employers reported that rising fuel prices (gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, etc.) are a substantial contributor to higher costs. Nearly all (96%) of small employers reported higher gas and fuel prices have some degree of a negative impact on their business. Small businesses are desperate for relief.
"NFIB members overwhelmingly agree with these outcomes. In a recent NFIB member ballot, more than 88% of small business owners support streamlining regulations to facilitate the production and transport of oil, natural gas, and other energy sources in the United States.
"H.R. 23, the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act, would rescind the billions in funding for the IRS’s expanded enforcement efforts from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) while retaining funding to focus on improving taxpayer services and modernizing operations to serve taxpayers. Congress disproportionately prioritized enhanced enforcement over increased taxpayer services in the IRA. Of the additional $80 billion in funding to the IRS, $45.6 billion (58% of the expanded funding) was allocated for enforcement efforts while only providing $3 billion (4% of the expanded funding) for taxpayer services. Before considering how to penalize taxpayers, the IRS should address resolving the immense return backlog and better assisting taxpayers with compliance. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration identified 'Improving Taxpayer Service' as the top management and performance challenge the IRS should consider for Fiscal Year 2023.
"NFIB members echo this concern. In a recent NFIB Research Center survey, members were asked about their interactions with the IRS. Of the members who attempted to contact the IRS for information related to their businesses in the last 12 months, 64% of these respondents reported that the experience was not helpful at all.
"H.R. 2811, the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2022, includes both of these important provisions, in addition to certain recissions and future federal spending limitations. NFIB appreciates inclusion of these provisions and your leadership on these important issues."
Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), Matt Brooks, CEO: "In the face of serious threats to Americans’ future prosperity, House Republicans are leading. The Limit, Save, Grow Act offers a fiscally responsible debt ceiling solution and advances other vital objectives: promoting economic growth, making America energy-independent, and limiting the federal regulatory burden."
States Trust, John Hostettler, former Congressman and Vice President of Federal Affairs: "We haven’t balanced a budget since 2001. This is a substantive, concrete plan to get our Union’s fiscal house in order. By bringing to an end the elitist bailout of student loans and the anti-reliable energy environmentalists’ robbing of taxpayers via the renewable energy production tax credit, Congress can shift their focus to the soaring energy costs ravaging working-class families. With summer approaching, Congress must work toward affordable and reliable energy for all Americans."
Taxpayer Protection Alliance (TPA), David Williams, TPA President: "The Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 introduced by House GOP leadership is a strong start to addressing the nation’s deficit and debt. While the Democrats complain about the debt and point fingers, Speaker McCarthy is taking the necessary first step."
Texas Public Policy Foundation, Greg Sindelar, CEO: "Working families should not be footing the bill for the poor educational choices of others. At a time when more American families are living paycheck to paycheck, the cost to cool your home is rising, and inflation is emptying out Americans’ wallets, it is simply unfair and reckless to ask taxpayers to bail out Ivy League graduates. All of this is accomplished by Speaker McCarthy’s plan while putting our nation on a more sustainable budgetary path and saving American taxpayers $4.5 trillion."
