The conservative House Freedom Caucus has outlined its demands for increasing the federal debt limit and spending in a letter to Republican leaders. The group is calling for significant cuts in non-defense spending, a freeze on federal hiring, and a prohibition on any new regulations until the debt is paid down. They also want to use the debt limit increase as an opportunity to address long-term entitlement spending, such as Social Security and Medicare.

The letter comes as Congress faces a looming deadline to address the debt limit, which is set to expire in the fall. While the demands are unlikely to be met in full, they reflect the growing concern among conservatives about the nation’s growing debt and the need for fiscal restraint.
