As most Republicans hail the House passage of the budget that opens the door for tax reform, the most libertarian-oriented group within the GOP is blasting the legislation because they believe it does nothing to reduce spending.
The House Liberty Caucus said in a statement, “Passing a budget that doesn’t address out-of-control spending and adds trillions of dollars to the national debt just to achieve some policy goal—which also could be accomplished with a responsible budget—is an endorsement of a warped worldview where the end justifies the means.”
The group claims that “This budget never balances, and it adds $5.5 trillion… to the national debt over the next decade.”
House Liberty Caucus Chairman Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) also slammed the bill on Twitter.
Big-Government Budget paves way for Congress to blow through spending caps, and it never balances. What happened to fiscal conservatism?

Conservative leaders would have slammed this Big-Government Budget under Pres. Obama. Now, they demand Republicans in Congress vote for it.
