Question

(1 point)
• refusing to vote for any federal tax increases
• refusing to vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling
• demanding remaining troops in Afghanistan be brought home
• demanding Fannie Mae lower interest rates on loans

Answer 1

The example that best shows how Congressional Republicans wanted to reduce government spending is:

• refusing to vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling.

This action directly relates to limiting government spending, as raising the debt ceiling allows the government to borrow more money, which can lead to increased spending. By refusing to raise it, Republicans aimed to constrain government expenditures.
