Trump’s former OMB director rips emerging debt ceiling deal negotiated by ‘incompetent’ GOP

House Republicans are straying far from their bill to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending, President Trump's former OMB director warned on Friday morning.

Vought spoke after details of the ongoing debt ceiling agreement emerged late Thursday night that indicated a deal is emerging that strays far from the Limit, Save and Grow Act that the House passed weeks ago. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.

The House bill cut about $150 billion in discretionary spending and capped growth in federal spending to 1% a year for a decade. But details that emerged Thursday on the agreement – which is not final – indicated negotiators are now looking at just two years of spending caps, higher spending for defense and veterans, and a freeze on other programs.
