“House Republicans are punting plans to roll out their budget until next month, amid continued pushback from conservatives about the blueprint, according to multiple House Republican aides familiar with the discussions. The divisions inside the House GOP conference threaten to derail the process, as [House] Speaker Paul Ryan [R-WI] faces the same problem his predecessor encountered – resistance from conservatives who want to lower the overall spending level and include some major cuts to entitlement programs in the near term… Ryan is encouraging members to agree to the topline spending level set by last year's budget deal so that the House can move ahead with spending bills…” - CNN, 2/22/2016 |
