Budget Vote

My guess is, that a couple of Republicans can see where we are headed, and vote against the bill.

At some point they will have had enough. Hopefully it's today.

Apparently not.

I wonder how much money the "phony holdouts" pocketed?

So correct me if I'm wrong. This will have to go through the Senate and if it passes there, it goes to Trump to sign? Right?

Trump can veto it or not sign it at that point, right? Because he has promised many times, MANY TIMES, that he would not cut Medicaid. I mean, no way Trump would LIE about something like this.

Approval of the budget plan was a crucial first step for Republicans to smooth the way through Congress for an enormous fiscal package using a process called reconciliation, which allows such bills to steer clear of a filibuster and pass the Senate on a simple-majority vote.
