“Prospects for a fiscal 2017 budget road map remained dicey as conservative Republicans expressed opposition and Democrats howled over proposed cuts to entitlement programs. The double-barreled setbacks foreshadow a tough week for House Budget Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga… But with conservatives protesting the higher spending limits, plenty of doubts remain — even among GOP members of Price's committee… ‘I'm moving toward a 'no' by the day,’ said Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., another Freedom Caucus member of the committee… ‘I was trying to get to 'yes,' but everything is moving in the wrong direction.’” - CQ, 3/14/2016 |
