House Republicans Present a Budget, Chide Dems for Failure to Do Same
Posted By Brent Scher On May 1, 2019 @ 2:50 pm
Weeks after Democratic leadership decided to shelve their budget resolution for fiscal year 2020, a group of House Republicans has released a detailed budget it hopes will serve as a "playbook" for how to govern should they regain the majority.
The Republican Study Committee, chaired by Rep. Mike Johnson (R., La.), called it an abdication of responsibility by Democrats to fail to present a budget, but said it was "ready and willing to fill that vacuum of leadership" with its own budget.
"It's fairly obvious they have some internal squabbles in their conference and they don't want to bring a budget to the floor because it will expose those riffs," Johnson told reporters in advance of the budget's release. "We will have the only budget in Congress, and we're happy to present it."
