House GOP Cancels Budget Vote.

[0311]

House Republican leaders canceled a vote on the Senate’s budget resolution Wednesday night, as Speaker Mike Johnson came to terms with what had been clear for many hours: Too many Republicans would vote in opposition and the measure was bound to fail.

The outcome is a brutal blow for House GOP leaders and President Donald Trump, who have spent days trying to wrangle the votes for the fiscal blueprint. Adoption of identical budget resolutions in both the House and Senate is an essential step to allowing committees to start drafting and passing a party-line package of tax cuts, military spending, energy policy and border security investments.

The evening roll call on the budget was delayed as House hard-liners back-channeled with a group of Senate Republicans to sketch out deeper spending cuts. Then a parade of more than a dozen fiscal hawks streamed off the House floor to meet with Johnson and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise while the vote on another measure was held open. But those eleventh-hour talks were not enough.

Johnson just plain did not have votes, and he knew it. The economy is a is in free fall and Europe dropping U.S. stocks and bonds as fast as they can. The tariffs are a disaster. 47 is killing the economy and Republicans know it.

That's one big difference Johnson and Nancy Pelosi, she unlike Johnson knew how to control her caucuas.

What makes you think this is a brutal blow for Trump?

Yeah, she was able to get democrats to vote to print trillions of dollars. Meanwhile youre complaining that the GOP is having debates about not cutting more spending. Democrats are fiscal retards.

I think the plan is to try again tomorrow.

Losers.

Serve the taxpayer, not the rich.

Trump does everything else our government needs. I'm pretty sure Trump is going to have to get this done too.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

He serves the rich.

He ain't got the votes. One thing about Pelosi, she never brought anything to the floor unless she knew she had the votes. Little Mickey of the Small Johnson is a weak leader who cannot control his caucus.

Pelosi controlled a circus of leftoid clowns, not a “caucuas”, whatever that is.

I know you really just wanted to use that meme again.

Your idiotic rant has nothing to do with reality.

Johnson pulled the bill because the Republicans were, once Agsin, feuding with each other. Just like the last two times.

The rich pay most of the taxes. Dumb ass

Pelosi is one of the giants of Congressional history.

Unlike the GOP, which has had a series of weak speakers, none of whom succeeded in holding the party together.

It really cuts you people to the quick doesn't it?

Time is getting short.

Is there a place where average americans can see the proposed budget and programs that are affected?

Have to give the dems credit for having Fort Marcy Park as a reminder of what happens to dissidents
