Will this affect DACA Fix?

The Senate passed a budget with all Republican votes.
The budget would help pave the way for the GOP and Trump's tax plan.
Democrats blasted the budget. Chuck Schumer called it "one of the worst budgets Congress has ever passed."
Moments after the Senate passed a massive fiscal year 2018 budget with only Republican votes, Democrats slammed the resolution and it's pathway towards passing a GOP tax reform plan.

"This nasty and backwards budget green lights cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in order to give a tax break to big corporations and the wealthiest Americans. It shifts the burden from the wealthy and puts it squarely on the back of the middle class, and blows a hole in the deficit to boot," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

"I think it will go down in history as one of the worst budgets Congress has ever passed."

Can someone explain, is this the same thing as the budge to prevent shutdown on Dec 8th?

That's what I m confused about

I believe that that budget is different from funding. The Dec 8th deadline is to fund the government which requires dems. I may be wrong.

It's different. I'm not 100% sure of the difference, but I do know they need different amount of votes to pass. The funding needs 60 votes in Senate (which is why GOP needs Dems votes). The budget that was passed only required 50 votes.

Does this mean my taxes will go down?

I sure hope so, been giving uncle Sam alot of my money while some non-STEM worker gets out tax free.

Hope so too!!!

If you are not making millions, then it goes down a very small portion.

I think it's just a continuing resolution, more "we are going to do this", than a concrete law.

They can budget everything they want to, until they hit the debt ceiling, and that won't be raised solely by 50 votes.
