House Budget panel clears $3.8T Republican spending plan

[Geee]

The Hill:

The House Budget Committee cleared the latest GOP fiscal framework on Thursday, after Republican leaders struggled to mediate between defense and fiscal hawks.

 

The committee passed the first budget from new Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.) on a 22-13 party-line vote.

However, Republicans might not be done fiddling with their budget, which is likely to hit the House floor next week, as defense hawks continue to ensure that $20 billion in defense spending doesn’t require offsets elsewhere in the budget.

That change is likely to get shored up in the House Rules Committee, according to members of both the Budget and Armed Services committees.
