A budget deal which consisted of $390 billion was proposed to the Congress. The budget could see many areas receiving the funding it needed to operate fully without concern.
This deal didn’t go down well with some Republicans and Democrats however who are against it. Some considered the spending bill reckless and said “no” to the idea.
The deal could see the Government once again shutdown as no immigration deal had yet been given to Democrats.
Nancy Pelosi spoke for over eight hours in a bid to get the immigration deal she wanted. She made it clear she wouldn’t give her support if Paul Ryan didn’t make way for such a bill to be passed.
Republicans
Many Republicans disapproved of the budget deal and said they wouldn’t be supporting it.
Rep. Mo Brooks said “I’m not only a ‘no.’ I’m a ‘hell no.”
Rep. Dave Brat called the deal a “Christmas tree on steroids.”
“This spending proposal is disgusting and reckless – the biggest spending increase since 2009,” said Rep. Justin Amash. “I urge every American to speak out against this fiscal insanity.”
“It’s a terrible deal,” Jim Jordan said. “I never thought Speaker Ryan would be supportive of this, I just never thought the Speaker would go here with these high numbers.”
