Budget passed by house

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-the-hard-part

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.

So nowtwo more weeks until Senate takes it up ......these waiting games are ridiculous

I thought the DA was going to be attached?

Democrats will attach it when it gets to the senate. Republicans don't give a shit about us.

cool, it makes sense.

Will Dems have the balls to do it?

Raises the question of what the fuck was Pelosi doing in the house. I looked up the bill, there were 4 proposed amendments, none of them passed and none of them seem to be the Dream Act.

So much for Pelosi "sticking" it to them. I wouldn't be surprised if they sell us out quite frankly.

Me neither, Democrats like to talk big and do little when the time comes.

I thought it was in the Senate the Democrats have leverage with the budget?
