CongressDaily reported today that the recent Hurricane Katrina devastation is "making GOP leaders think twice about moving ahead with a $34.7 billion package of entitlement spending cuts outlined by the FY06 budget resolution." Congressional Republicans are coming under a good deal of fire from Democrats, who are arguing that now is not the time to be cutting social programs, with so many people in need. Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) said ""We will keep reconciliation on track for now," and added that scheduling decisions would be subject to a "day-to-day evaluation." There is a possibility that a reconciliation package could be amended and scaled back either in committee or on the floor.
