The Daily Quote
“House Republicans get back to work Tuesday without any new rescue plan for a fiscal 2017 budget blueprint that remains on life support. The budget resolution that emerged from the House Budget Committee last month… still has no clear path to winning approval on the House floor. The lack of any apparent progress toward a deal after a two-week recess suggests Republicans may be close to abandoning a budget framework this year. ‘Our prospects are dimming,’ said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., a senior House appropriator who also sits on the Budget and Rules committees. ‘I think we're pretty much where we were when we left’ town for the recess, he said.” - CQ, 4/12/2016
