Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, on Sunday slammed the budget deal reached last week, saying that Republican leadership "caved."
“Our leadership caved. The swamp won and the American taxpayer lost,” Meadows told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
Conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus have derided the two-year budget deal as a loss for Americans, pointing to increased spending. The agreement lead to a brief government shutdown early Friday, as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) railed against the deal's spending and delayed a vote in the upper chamber.
Meadows on Sunday also denied wanting to take Speaker Ryan's (R-Wis.) job, but called for "soul-searching" within the party in light of the budget agreement.

Paul: Deficit spending no better under Republicans
BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 02/11/18 11:50 AM EST
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday slammed deficit spending under congressional Republicans, saying it’s no better than the spending he adamantly opposed under former President Obama.
“Well you know I think we should draw attention to the fact that we're spending so much money. I ran for office in 2010 with what was called sort of the Tea Party tidal wave,” Paul told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“At that point we were very, very critical of President Obama's deficits, you know, approaching a trillion dollars in a year. We talked endlessly about them we had 100,000 people rally on the [National] Mall in Washington. And I'm still against deficit spending; just because Republicans are doing it, doesn't make it any better.”
Paul’s remarks come after the Kentucky lawmaker railed against last week’s budget deal and delayed vote on the agreement, causing a brief government shutdown overnight.
