OKS house cut the budget $ 50 billion
House Republicans, after weeks of negotiations, a budget of nearly Cut bill early Friday to $ 50 billion by Medicaid, food stamps, student loans and other programs on complaints from Democrats that Congress is the pressing of students, elderly and the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
Parliament approved the bill 217-215, GOP have agreed on claims of moderate Republicans to throw overboard, a measure of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, and slightly reduce proposed cuts to food stamps.
Still, the vote was so sensitive that politicians do not start at home in the debate to 10 hours on Thursday and failed to measure nearly 2 hours - though most messages by journalists, and only some C-SPAN witnessing the Junkies fiery floor. No Democrats voted for the bill and 14 against Republicans.
House Democrat Nancy Pelosi Guide San Francisco said in a speech of words by a reduction in appropriations for Medicaid, child benefit and promotion of the implementation of care at home preparing for the vote of $ 70 billion in tax cuts was a “sin”.
“Republicans have launched an attack on America’s children, America’s families,” said Pelosi. “They are also initiating an attack on the layer of Central America, all to give tax cuts for the rich people of our country.”
But House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., Répondit that the proposed reductions were necessary to control spending growth of the Confederation for health care and other programs.
“Medicaid is expanding with growth of 7.3 per cent per annum,” said Hastert. “There has been for years. Is there a better way to do so? Is there a better way to do so? Do we have here a number of reforms to better Yes, we should.”
The House bill would also break a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, one of the goals of conservatives have long complained that the Tribunal is too liberal. But the disintegration of the Appellate Court for the Western region countries, including the case of Confederation in California, is not part of the budget of the Senate. Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. And the senior members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, try to release the final destination of the packet.
The fight for the budget reconciliation bill now moves to a common house of conference-committee of the Senate, where the legislature is several important decisions, including:
– If the final budget accounting for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?
The Senate version would allow drilling, but a group of moderate House Republicans had brought against any final bill, is that the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge for development.
– What is deeply legislators cut student loans?
The House bill would Student Loan Program $ 14.3 billion, while the Senate version cuts $ 8.8 billion. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the Assembly bill would lead to a classic college students with an average of $ 17000 for students willing to pay an additional $ 5800 on interest and royalties on the duration of loans.
