House Republicans want to cut government spending below the level agreed by Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden, setting up a fight that could again risk a government shutdown.
American politician, 55th Speaker of the United States House of RepresentativesWASHINGTON - Republicans in the U.S House of Representatives on Thursday adopted government spending targets for the next fiscal year below the level agreed by Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Democratic President Joe Biden, setting up a fight with the Democratic-led Senate that could again risk a government shutdown.
The targets would maintain defense spending at the $866 billion level agreed in the debt ceiling legislation. But the plan would slash spending for the environment, public assistance and foreign aid.Democrats say that the lower levels renege on the debt-ceiling agreement. Republicans counter that the deal only capped spending.
On Wednesday, the panel adopted a bill that would cut spending on agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration by 30% from current levels.
