House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed Republican concerns over the fiscal impact of the newly passed spending bill, asserting it won’t escalate federal expenditures. The defense came during a Fox News appearance where Johnson countered Senator Rand Paul’s critique labeling the bill’s cuts as ’wimpy and anemic.’

Paul’s conditional support hinges on the bill avoiding a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase—a provision Johnson defended as critical. The clash highlights deepening GOP divisions over fiscal policy as the national debt debate intensifies.
