• refusing to vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling

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.

Refusing to raise the debt ceiling would limit the government's ability to borrow more money, which would consequently force reductions in government spending.
