As a government shutdown looms at the end of the week, Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., told Newsmax on Monday that the House Freedom Caucus' goal is to end "wasteful spending" in Washington by holding the line on budget cuts.

Cline said a "large portion of the federal government is effectively on autopilot" but conceded that there are "selective programs" that would "need to be looked at on a case by case basis." He said the Freedom Caucus is "willing to do that.
"They are maximizing their political gain from the potential for any shutdown," Cline continued. "The rhetoric coming out of [White House press secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre and the White House is really pro-shutdown. They want to blame Republicans.
