The House budget would allow $73 billion more in regular defense spending and $10 billion more in war funding than the Senate plan. The House would cut non-defense agencies by $5 billion, while the Senate budget wouldn’t make cuts. Once Republicans work out those differences, they then must negotiate with Democrats to avoid a shutdown because Democrats have the ability to block spending bills.

Senate Democrats want a $54 billion increase in non-defense programs. Any spending cap deal with Democrats will also have to deal with Trump’s demand for $1.6 billion in spending on a southern border wall.


Here is our golden opportunity. Democrats just needs to attach the Dream Act and they will have to vote on it. They don't have to give Republicans anything else.
