The Daily Quote
“Republicans have been unable to resolve a simmering internal dispute over whether to stick to discretionary spending levels set in last year's bipartisan budget deal or seek more election-year spending cuts in a show of fiscal discipline… The bottom line: Don't look for action on a budget resolution anytime soon. While he's hoping for a solution, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., a leader of the conservative Freedom Caucus, said, ‘With each day that passes, the idea of not passing a budget becomes more real.’” - CQ, 2/29/2016
