“Republican lawmakers' struggle to pass a new budget bill is just the latest sign of the GOP's dysfunction… Although the House Budget Committee passed a resolution last month, GOP leaders have been unable to find the Republican support to pass it on the chamber floor in the face of conservative opposition to the $1.07 trillion spending level. Members of the conservative Freedom Caucus want at least another $30 billion trimmed from that top-line figure. At roughly 40 members, the group has the numbers to block any bill that lacks Democratic support. Republican leaders are reluctantly acknowledging that the standoff means they likely won't pass their budget bill…” - The Hill, 4/13/2016 |
