Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : The budget deficit topped $1.1 trillion in the first half of the fiscal year 2023, caused by a 13 percent boost in federal spending and a 3 percent drop in tax revenue.
25% : McCarthy noted that the legislation would limit the annual spending growth over the next 10 years to 1 percent, claw back tens of billions of dollars in COVID-related funds, and assess wasteful federal government spending.
15% : House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Ny.) also slammed McCarthy's plan, telling CNBC on April 18 that "even the flirtation with the default is going to hurt everyday Americans." "It risks raising car payments, it risks raising home mortgage payments, it risks raising student loan debt payments," he said.
