*2015 Budget
The extreme Republican budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2015 is little more than a partisan messaging document; it makes harsh and dangerous cuts to many of our nation’s critical programs that would harm our economy and middle-class families.
The House Republican budget unveiled this week continues not only the same harmful policies and budget gimmicks that the American people have rejected time and again, but even recycles the top-line messaging.
Before the House Republican budget comes to the Floor next week (assuming they get over their divisions and come up with the votes, of course) we thought you’d enjoy seeing how some editorial cartoonists reviewed it:
Rep. Steny Hoyer (Md.), the second-ranking Democrat in the House, said Republicans should propose a replacement if they don't want to see defense spending cut as a result of across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp told panel members on Monday that he will hold hearings on the hodgepodge of tax provisions known as extenders, tax breaks worth tens of billions of dollars annually.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) called on Congress to lay the groundwork for a budget grand bargain.
Republicans critical of President Obama for excluding a previously proposed Social Security cut from his latest budget bill have only themselves to blame, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) charged Monday.
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer called on Congress Monday to lay the groundwork for a sweeping budget deal or risk seeing America’s role as a global leader diminish.
Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer really wants a grand bargain, and he says now, “when we don’t have a crisis breathing down our necks,” is the time to do it.
