[superchuck500]

The GOP in both the House and Senate have released their budget resolutions. Both aim to produce $1.5T to $2T in tax cuts- while slashing spending.

The Senate budget committee is hearing their resolution today and resolving over 200 proposed amendments.

The House has released their budge resolution:

- $4 Trillion debt-ceiling increase
- Defund Medicaid entirely (effectively)
- Reduce SNAP by 20%

House GOP releases budget calling for trillions in cuts to taxes and spending

The blueprint conflicts with a Senate budget resolution, which doesn't address taxes or the debt ceiling. It also includes less funding than the Senate's for immigration enforcement.

So the plan is apparently to pass the CR and skip town so that the Senate can either pass same or shut the government down. Yeah right.

The thing about this CR that no one is talking about, it is that the GOP wants to shut the government down! They have this radical belief that life will go on without government providing the services that we elected them to provide. In particular, this current current administration believes government purpose is to defend and make money...THAT IS IT!
